    I like the way this man thinks. Just a couple of 'corrections'...

    It's not a CBX OR the Kaw 750 triple, it's BOTH. (And the Kaw comes first. )

    Speaking of Kaws, I'd like a KZ1000 turbo ('77, '78?) with all the internal beefier parts that were offered.

    And that 750 triple would look a lot nicer next to the 500 triple.

    First and second generation VMax (for comparison). That's 5, right?

    2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

        VMAX was ten times the bike this one was though. Hondas and me don't get along. I know others have luck with them. I do like the 1100F's but I won't buying another Honda. v65.jpg

          Rob, thinking you're talking the 1978 & 1979 Kawasaki Z1R TC, a Z1R with a turbo bolted on. They weren't known for longevity cause when you bought one, you got "No Warranty"... Glad you brought that one up, I'll add that one to my list. Gosh those black ones were beautiful.

            I loved everything about my '98 except the tank range.

              That is an easy answer for me. There is only one left. Vincent Black Lightening.

                Yeah, but the fake air scoops counts for something.

                  SRP makes sets of those that are fully functional to work with the VGAS kit.
