Hi Guys, lm looking for a Z1000 A1, not Ltd etc to Streetfighter. Early model preferred so Tax excempt. Would like something already registered and running. Thanks Paul ........................

why dismiss an ltd? same frame as an a1 but frame numbers slightly different..a1=kzt00a and ltd=kzt00b. I'm not a streetfighter fan personally n think your plan would detract value from the original bike, whereas putting the same energy n money into summit like a cheaper bandit or zephyr might actually add value n cost less to source a donor/victim.if tax exemption is your driving force gs750/1000's are much more available, cheaper n take gsxr usd front ends . good luck either way. mark

Because getting an original as possible 1000a1 trumps saving money on something that isn't?

On a related note, that's why I have an 1000Ltd B1 for a Sanctuary style restomod. Would be a pity to 'butcher' a nice z900/1000a.

i dont get it either. my, 79 mk2 engined ltd (un-ltd) z900 bars, 18"rear wheel, z900 tank n harris 4-1is one of the best riding n handling 8 valvers i have ever owned from a z1a to a unitrack. i am nearly 54 tho so i might be forgetting some!! never streetfightered anything tho :nevertheless an a1. ah the wisdom of the baldy old man!!!

In summary, the older Ltd models offer a similar experience, in what is in essence the same bike, but for a lot less money!

With respect guys, it doesn't matter if anyone else does not "get it". It does not matter about value either. If the OP wants to street fighter a Z1000A1 that's his choice.

Good luck in your search Paul
