Romanko introducing himself.
25 Sep 2026 02:18 - 25 Sep 2026 03:08
Hi everyone, I’m from quite far away—the Czech Republic, in Central Europe. I’ve been a Kawasaki fan since childhood, ever since I was 11 or 12. Why? I’m not even sure myself. Maybe because, back in the 70s, Kawasaki was the smallest Japanese motorcycle manufacturer, so I rooted for the underdog. My first big bike was a Honda 750K; you didn't have much choice in the CSSR before 1989. But right in 1990, I bought a GPX750R. Then came the ZX-10, ZXR750H2, ZZR1100, and ZXR1200. In 2010, I switched brands and bought a Triumph Street Triple 675 R—though. I know, it’s all "Wetbikes." From 2017 onwards, it was all about the Road Racing Team; we even took part in the TT and the NW200, but that left no time for my own personal bikes or casual rides. This year, I finally treated myself and bought a Zephyr 1100 with wire-spoke wheels, plus a Z1R that was modified in the 80s by the Vicher brothers—racers and race-bike builders from the 70s and 80s. I think that’s enough to start with.

Hi Romanko, welcome from the UK. I have fixed your pics (you need to click "install all" before submitting) Great bikes, I visited your country a few times in the early 2000's when my friend was competing in the streetfighter stunt championships. I loved it there
