Hi guys
Obligatory first post I guess. I am from Sheffield over in the U.K. I have a few bikes in the garage (all Kawasaki's though), but felt the need to join up here following the acquisition of my latest project which is a 1977 650C1, she's on the up now after a nightmare start. Still in bits cos I am waiting on parts, but she will surface again soon.

I also have an 05 ZX10R for nice sedate riding ... ;)

and a '75 H1F triple - again for nice sedate riding :laugh:

Anyhow - hello all :)

Welcome to KZR from a fellow KZ/zx-10r owner. Those first generation ninjas sure are a hoot. In the most sedate way possible, of course. Let's see some pictures of your fleet when you get time. We don't care that they are in pieces.

Well this is my Ten (Hopkins MGP replica) LOT's of trick bits and carbon ... ;)




This is my H1F as I bought it (in H2C colours)




She's had a fortune spent since then and is now painted back to the Candy Blue she would have originally been. I can't add up to date photo's of that at present though cos the bike is up at a mate's shop while I work on the 650. I have room for 3 bikes in the garage - but not if I have to strip one and work around it ...

The 650 as I bought it was this:



It looks OK - but what a mess underneath, it needed completely rewiring from head to tail. If it's electrical it's been replaced. I will update that as I progress more :)
