They were sold in the UK not did well the bike just did not have a market the z650 was the same price and a far better bike.sold better in Europe especially Germany were there is a big following.there site is called the lonesome twin.in the u s a the cruiser model did better.not a powerful bike for a 750 but tons of torque. But no faster than a 400 superdream I do like the 70s z look and you can still pick them up cheaply and plenty of spairs still around.the cbx1000 is a bike I have always wanted but never got give it a good look over and do your homework they're mega money pits if you get a bad n.why did Kawasaki not keep the is kz name in Europe.

the cbx is an awesome thing, I still have a moment when I see a nice one, theres just something about the look of that six cylinder lump (sort of straining at the lead) and six nice shiny chrome headers. I’d agree with mark though if they go wrong they are a nightmare and very costly (am I right in thinking the camshafts are split and therfore in 4 bits?) I’d still love one though...
