My 77 KZ 650 B1 and Stablemates:
- 2002 ZRX 1200R
- 2011 Concours 14
- 2021 KTM 890 Duke R



   

  

 

Nice diverse collection Forrest, something for every occasion 

Thanks,  Sometimes it's hard to pick.  When I am just needing to run each of them for a short loop, I start with the KZ and then move up in displacement/power.  

I also have my original F7 175 2 stroke, a 75 KH500 and a 73 H2 all to restore.  Yes, I have issues and am unapologetic  

Nice Stable of rides. 

I think my next bike needs more fairing, and a Concours could be in my future.

The Concours is a great bike.  I have run with sporty groups and hauled the mail across the country.  It is deceptively quick especially with the stock muffler.  The body work/fairing on the 2010 and newer do a better job of directing engine heat away from the rider.  The original windshield never did a good job even with the electrically adjustable feature.  I now have a MRA windshield with cantilevered spoiler.  This German windshield is the Shiz.

Forrest is speaking the truth! He was at the "four corners" get-together at the intersection of Colorado, Utah, Arizona and New Mexico. Since he was "in the neighborhood" he stopped in to say "hi" to me & the Mrs. in Lodi California, on his way home! FFS Forest! 

WOW! Just WOW!  Thank you for posting this photo Slayer.  You & Mrs. Slayer made me feel so welcome I remember you even led me out of Lodi and pointed me towards Tahoe, Carson City, and U.S. 50.  Did not stop that night until I hit Ely, NV. Those were long days in the saddle but glad I stopped by and visited. 

One small correction;  The Four Corners Finale for the KZR Relay Flag did not occur until later that summer.  Look you even have the Relay Flag in your possession!  You helped move it along.  I was actually at a ZRX Rally in Morrow Bay.  That is where I started from the very day I came by to see ;you.  Funny, you even own a ZRX.  See the Mean Green Machine in the background of photo.   

BTW, nice resto on Mrs. Slayer's GPZ.  Been following your thread.
