Hi everyone, I am a new member of Motorbrick, let me tell you my story, I live in Monterrey, Mexico, I have a Kawasaki Kz550, which I rebuild into a cafe racer, but it is finally finish, so I started looking for a new bike, I wanted to build a R series , but surfing the internet I found some K bikes, and it was like a magnet, a nice bike, very different, uncommon, a real challenge!, so I started looking for one, after checking some, last Sunday came along a K1, 1989, few miles , very nice, mechanical and body, and at an irresistible and unbelievable price, $1,800.00, I had a remote idea of what the bike was, so I googled it and it really surprised me, so on Tuesday I took a plane to Guadalajara to see the bike, and got it!!! when I ask the owner why was he selling it, he told me that the bike was a present form his older brother who didn't use it any more and had been stored for some 15 years, and he really didn't like the bike because it look like it came from a Power Ranger comic or Star Wars, so he decided to sell it and buy something more like a H.D. in a few words, he had no idea of what the bike was...
Now, I donīt know what to do, the bike is great!!! (no front brakes and some minor issues),
So I am asking for advice... shall I restore it to its original condition?, turn it into a Kafe Racer?... re sell it at a nice price? how rare is this bike?
Who is a good K bikes parts supplier?
