 A Road bike? No  8).      If you get tired of that Z900 rip the engine for me evolution speedway sidecar will ya? Fact Z900 engines cannot be used in pre75 classic sidecar speedway class.
I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

NO Kawasaki DOHC 900s matter of fact no multi cylinder DOHC engines, just good old 980+cc single OHC 754s like mine..... It is a pig bug...

Yep, a Ducati 600 Pantah (red one) but it has sat for ten years.
I'm a crap mechanic and short on cash so it'll sit a while longer. :-[

Piecing together bits for a Red Bull KTM 250 GP replica, made from a Kawasaki KR-1 250.I thought the TYGA fairing would be close and was happy to see THIS on the rgv forum. Be closer in technical details more than looks, not sure if it will be for the track only or have it rego'd.

Nice Z1 MX?

My last road bike was a radically modified 1981 Honda H100a:



Unsurpisingly, it wasn't quite as quick as the one before that, which was a red 2001 Honda CBR1100XX:



Was probably only quicker because of the colour   ;D

My next one will be a Yamaha DT2 cafe racer.  No pics yet as it's a very long way from finished.
