For the money I would rather buy something a bit more authentic.

Authentic is one thing but if you want a bike to ride regularly its worth thinking about the realities. A 1978 Z1000 puts out 80 ish bhp and is heavy. The engine is air cooled and was cutting edge 40 years ago but is agricultural by todays standards. It has poor brakes and most importantly it handles like a sack of spuds. Its old and is likely to be unreliable. Apart from that its £11000
If you can put up with all that,buy it.
