What do you like/have that isnt KZ?

I love my GPz900R, but if I were looking at something not KZ related it would be either an RG500 Gamma, NS400R or an RZ500. Modern bikes just dont peak my interest, but a 1050 Tiger SE with ABS and Bags would make an awesome sport touring bike....yep I can see one of them in my garage at some point.

My 85 GPz900R

nice as always! i agree just about any 2 smoker streetbike would be a lot of fun

this series /model is about as balanced a bike as that era turned out....flat out walk away from just about anyone even big bikes....

I had this bike for a few years, 4 years ago. I pretty much agree with everything you said, it was a great 2nd bike for me. Sporty, but balanced (good word for it).

EDIT: That picture you found is a little lame though, lol. The wolf face in the background cracks me up.

too funny.....The wolf face in the background cracks me up......i never even saw it when i "borrowed" that pic...i was looking for a red one...there is one that parks in the parking garage at work and there a good amount and types of bike...it is clean and has a pipe and a few goodies....simple little...out of the box decade old (some older) 600....

thing is...if you took all the bike that park in that garage just the way they came to the track....that little 12 yr old 600 that was no big deal....i bet it would top the heap or damn close....take it to N.Y and back and it might win again.....who knows...either way for 3500 4500 you get "the bike" of a decade (and half)

'93 ZX-11D1

I love the look of these BMW dual-sports and the idea of loading one up with some gear and taking a long trip appeals to me.

im currently working on an old 69 chevy 3/4t pickup ive had sitting in the field behind house for many years,was going to build a simple bigblock trk 4-spd project for me as a cheap daily driver for me to troll the back roads looking for more projects in.
now the daughter took a liking to it so its suddenly into a good candidate for a 1 ton 4x4 transplant with a 700r4 automatic /power steering/disc brakes /factory air and all those things that woman cant seem to live without! :blink:
of course if she keeps pissing me off it might also end up with alcoa aluminum duallys all the way around and a flatbed and 8' western plow on front of it so she can plow my driveway for me! :woohoo:
oh yeah the only bikes that i have i wont get rid of that arent kz's are a late 72 z1 ,2 74 z1s and 2 75z1s! yeah theyre all projects also :woohoo:

I wish !!!!

I've always loved these twearking/torquey little RD Yami's....



The there's the stumpers...
Don't know why I do, not the fastest but always loved these as well...

Those RD350s were a great bike. My cousin had a brand new orange '75 just like pictured, got on closeout. I don't remember the price, and my dad had a brand new '74. The '75 was a deal at something like $900 on closeout new. My cousin eventually got some ungodly electrical gremlin that could never be fixed after years of trying so I think he got like $100 as a parts donor bike, then I had a brand new '77 XT500 Yamaha that was complete junk and my dad traded in his RD350 and my XT500 for the new KZ650 33 yrs ago. I still like the RDs, but not that XT500.

Found this in the parking garage next to my work. I want one to pick up the mail with! Late 1970's Colt Cosmo moped.

OMR, I gave away a '76 XT500 with VIN #17 a few months ago.

I love those small cc bikes, so hard to find around here though. They are either basket cases or people want a fortune for them.
