I remember my first ride on the 500. It stood up and tried to buck me off! Nice job and a great looking stable.

Hard to pick a favorite Joe....as they are all my babies.
All 3 except the ZRX have had been fully restored from the stand up. ;)

The turbo is the best bang for buck, the ZRX is just plain grunt, the Z1R is great to ride while the triple is light peaky, and smells sweet. :P
