Me too, and I'm not talking fiberglass.....those are itchy.

Yeah, those tail are very HR or KR-ish ... and I like 'em a lot.

@ 650ed: Those are outstanding. I mean, how can a guy look at those, know their performance, and not understand why all the m/c rags of-the-day just geeked on the things ... *sigh* ... one day, I'm tellin' ya ... one day.

Oh, rstnick's bike is a personal favorite of mine, too. ...just sayin'.


PS> Just finished the shipping arrangements to get my latest acquisition shipped to me from Rhode Island. If any of you have geeked out on my sled-list you'll notice that I sold one of my projects and I'm replacing it with a similarly equipped ride ... starts with an 'H' and rhymes with Rhonda :whistle: Was a one-year-wonder :ohmy: and is listed as an 1100. Any guesses

Gotta be it.
I suppose if you can't have a KZ650 that's a good second choice

Nope,don't own a 650.
I USED to be the proud owner of a 78' KZ650 untill i got drunk last fall and...fell.You guys know the story....a curb,a tree,the cops,a hospital... :whistle:
Yes,that avatar to the left was my girl the week i got her in 90'.She had 3500 original miles with the original dunlops..i kid you not.
What? your curious about her transformation from a generic standard,to a sweet generic standard? I get choked up talkin about her,my loss was a tough one.We were lovers for 20 years you understand...
I bought her on the corner for $650,rubbed her belly and curves,and made her wear the things i thought sexy...a V&H pipe and pod filters,cafe racer bars,new front/rear sprockets,dunlop 591's,square mirrors,fzr600 signals,and cheap,but pretty rear shocks.
The V&H pipe made the thing sound DEEP,like a 1000.Sounded better than many faster machines. I got alot of compliments...but the best mod,hands down was the lower gearing.I went down ONE tooth on the front is all.I didn't care for the 300 rpm increase at hwy speed..BUT top speed increased to 117mph(She stopped struggling to pull redline in 5th).

CB F Models.
Nice bikes

Yepper ... wasn't too difficult of a 'call', eh?

Those are some nice examples of CB-Fs; mine is an 11 with some nicities on it, got a plan or two for it, but nothing major. At the end of the day it's "Bad Kaw" not 'Bad H' (whazzat...hemoroid creme gone sour???) or anything that doesn't have green in it's DNA. Always wanted one and this one has personal history with me and the wife, so here it comes. Should be here very close to our 10yr anniv on 20 Oct ... we'll see.

BACK TO THE KZ650s!!! :evil:

Come on already....

Here is my LTD, funny looking at first but the lines grow on you. I personnaly like the duck bill look minus the fender. But this bike was just meant to be.



Just go find one Bad Kaw, and join us on the Dark Side...we have cookies! :evil:
