In Europe a restored goes for around 3000 euro, and you can pick them up in Russia any of it's former republics for close to nothing. Spares are readily available, and once the mechanicals have been repaired , replaced or reconditioned they are indestructable. After all 1967 is 45 years ago and be sure it has passed the hands of somebody with no money but a need for cheap transportation. I spent last winter rebuilding mine, and this year I have done 5000 miles on it with nothing else than an oil change. The engine has no oilfilter, so I change oil often. I don't carry any other tools than to be able to change a wheel.These bikes were designed to work in nowhere in Siberia, where a non-starter could be a question of life or death. It keeps up with traffic, but it is not suited for higways as realistic cruising speed is about 55 mph. It has 27HP, 5 less than a OHV BMW of similar age, not bad for a 75 year old SV design. 20.000 dollars for a 1967 750 KMZ is a lot of money, except if the previous owner was Nikita Khrushchev.

MY problem is I want add a sidecar to it . I cant find one that says it will mount to a maxi scooter. There is a guy in TEXAS who attached one to a Yamaha Majesty 400 -TEXAS Sidecars it was custom made. I live in central florida and cannot afford to ship it there and HE dosent know if he can even do it. Do you know of a manafacter that makes one that will fit with some modifications? dear sirs,
