Wooden Z1

Going through pictures I found this one of a wooden Z1 that was in the Board Room at KMC at the Jeronimo Rd. location. It looks like it was a gift to KMC to commemorate their 10 year anniversary in 1976. I've got some others from the museum at the old KMC location I will post later, I hope you will enjoy!

The detail is amazing. Thanks for sharing. But the engine mount bolts are backwards!
I have several restored bikes along with a 2006 Goldwing with a sidecar. My wife has a 2019 Suzuki DR 650 for on and off road.

I have a Guiloy 1/10 scale Z1 model that is about 7" long. The wooden one from memory was probably at least 28 or 30" which 1/4 scale? It seems like there was a full size one there too, but I don't have photographic evidence of that, Maybe a "dream"?
