New GPz750 R1 owner

Hi there,

I owned a GPZ900R and just recently purchased a 1982 GPz750 R1.

I hope to restore it and to get help from this forum.

Here are the bikes:

I have only ridden it properly once. I had to fix the choke mechanism and loose things...

Thanks. I'm in Australia (Melbourne) actually ...

We have about 2 months more of good riding weather before winter sets in :S

Had been a few glorious days in fact

Ah yes...Australia got the red wheels on the early GPz's...but didn't realize you also got the euro-style rear fenders too.

Ha..ha... beauty is in the eye of the beholder but I trust those good guys at Kawasaki engineering dept. ;)

Both of my GPZ have that tail style and I'm actually quite pleased that they had not been hacked off!

... and you can't see it when riding anyway :D

What is that thing...aw my eyes ... :D

The one on the top "European model" though, I like! .... but can never afford them. They cost at least $16k here.

I once rode with a friend who owned one ...
