Thanks very much. I, like you, have never wanted to post pictures of my non-Suzuki, but I like anything that's well done. Your HD is very tastefully customized, and I see an 1100F there hiding behind it. I'd love to own one of those. I'd also like to get my hands on an '83 Kawi ELR KZ1000, too.

Here's one for you nvr2old. Found this one out of Florida for my client.
As close to mint as you can get. I'm the only one who ever rides it. :clap:

Oh, man..you really know how to get a guy to drool over his keyboard. Combine that with the silver 900F, and it would be the Superbike hat trick I've always lusted about. That's an absolutely beautiful ELR. My co-worker at the Honda dealership I worked at, had the nerve to buy one of those. I always thought that was pretty bold of him..even though to a person, we loved that bike. Great fun to ride. We also wanted to ride the GS1000S, but no one we knew had access to one. I had to wait 30 years for that priveledge. Thanks for the pic, you're a lucky man.

Yeah I will most likely own it someday. He never rides it; he just saw me getting into older bikes and wanted something to ride with me when he could. Of course when you have as much money as this guy you get a very nice classic to ride on! Maybe I can get him to buy this:

Now THAT would be a fun ride!

The owner of the ELR and I joked about the bikes being rivals - the bikes were arranged by era, and it would have been great to have an 82 Katana there as well.
 
My 1988 Yamaha Venture Royale. It doesn't go very far if the throttle cable breaks in the middle of nowhere... :(

No road burner, but an 80's bike nonetheless. Might be sold to a friend this weekend.

Been a few years since I've been at this site, some beautiful machines being shown. I wish I was showing my 81 GS1100E, but it's still in pieces...someday.
Here's 2 of my other beauties in the meantime.

Those are some historical bikes there. The 851 was Ducati's first serious attempt to take on the Japanese and the Pantah has the visual ques from the 1970's with upgraded reliability and 80's running gear . . . Nice stable
 
Not stockers but some pretty cool Kawi fat tire conversions..

I love the Z-1! What donated the front brakes and rear swing-arm?
