I had been waiting for an A model kz550 to show-up on Craigslist, and this one looked pretty clean in the pictures. The guy had it sitting in his dining room in the two pictures that he posted. I'll have to use that trick some day, because it made me feel as if the bike must have been babied. When I actually looked at the bike, I was a little disappointed and probably should have offered less. He came down 300 bucks from his asking price, but in hindsight I paid too much. It did come with a spare engine and a bunch of parts though. Considering some of the deals that I have gotten over the years, I am still way ahead.
