A guy down the road from me has a 1981 Kawasaki z 550 LTD pretty much looks like this:

Not running , He says he parked it sometime in 96 or 97 and he just wants 500 bucks he says "I reckon , you could put a battery and some gas in it , it'll probably run" I can't find any reason not to trust the guy , But I'm a total noob , it's in good shape , clean it up a bit it'll probably look pretty good.

what do you think?

Does it have a clean title? Is it all there? What was the last year the bike was registered?
People say I'm stupid and apathetic. I don't know what that means, and I don't care.
