lets see them motorcycles

It's known as the widow maker, all power, no handling, a very bad combo.

That was back in the days when that's all that Kawasaki cared about.

That's all "I" cared about back in the day too, that's why I bought Kawasaki's!

My second mc was the Kawasaki Avenger 350 twin. Dual carb, dual side mounted rotary intake valves, fastest production bike off the line in 1969, till the 500 triple came out in 1970, I believe. I was just over 17 when my folks let me purchase it with my own money! It was the scrambler version with the high exhaust pipes, loved that machine! Rode it to school along the rr tracks, we grew up in a great time!

Yep!

 

[grizz55chev]

Yep!

My bike looked like this one back in the day! She was a screamer! No helmet required back then either!

 

[1Alpha1]

Power was primary and imperative! Handling was secondary and not a deal breaker.

 

[Sawyer Rob]

Here's what I was on back in the day, even the same color!

Still don't need a helmet where I live...

I never ride w/o a full-face helmet! I've seen the results of those that don't, and some were up close.

I always wear a helmet too, but we don't have to, here.

Oh okay, same here for AZ. The ones who don't wear a helmet, are potential organ donors, who don't yet know it.

[artbaldoni]

This is what I was riding around on in the 80s.

 

[rocketnorton]

wanted one, never got
did get 1100e few yr later

 

[artbaldoni]

It had the worst choke setup ever. A big knob that was spring loaded. I had to turn it and hold it with my knee, pull the clutch with my left hand, and push the starter button with my right. Couldn't do it while sitting on the bike! There were also 2 accessory switches right below the choke. I never wired anything to mine.

How about this little toy, wife bought it this last summer:

And this is my main ride these days:

Do have a one owner 1988 Sportster with over 100,000 miles on it most pulling a sidecar, one licenced and on the road 1982 XS650 Yamaha and a 1978 XS650 yamaha that I do need to get the paperwork done so I can licence it to. Then there is my wife's first ride:

She's put just short of 27,000 miles on it in 10 years!

A guy I know, has the ZX4RR on order. It should show up around the middle of June.

[artbaldoni]

Not really a motorcycle, but it is a Suzuki...1996 King Quad with 794 miles on it. Picked it up yesterday.

 

[Goofaroo]

This is the closest thing to sex on two wheels you'll ever find.

Not so sure about all the Armor-All on the seat though........

It’s a cutie but I would have to change the bars. A Euro bend or a superbike bar would be in order.
