1980 Kuwahara KZ-1
My kuwahara from 1980. Sold to a friend and both his kids rode it to school for years. I am very happy to have it again. I already have it powder coated black, and plan to rebuild it new, the way I rode it!! except maybe for the redline forks with Bottema stickers..hehee

A man who's been trained to ignore pain, ignore weather, to live off the land, to eat things that would make a billy goat puke. In Vietnam his job was to dispose of enemy personnel. To kill!"

Re: 1980 Kuwahara KZ-1
My first BMX was a 79'or 80' black kz1 that I bought used in 82' when I was 12. It started my addiction, Had 6 more different rides through 85' It had all gold parts except for a red tough neck? cost me $200 bucks of paper route money! not to shabby for a starter.
