kawasaki GPz 1000 RX (1987)

Stealthmode666 · 10-12-2008

Okay she's 21 years old and looks different without the fairings and fitted with straight bars.
At a max speed of 70 mph in Britian, (apparently

), the comfy upright position is great for my back as crouched down is too much hassle, I like to see the scenery and not wonder what was that I just passed.

The cheapest bike I've ever bought in my life, and all I'll say is it just covered the cost of the new exhaust pipes and maybe the braided brake hoses on her

As you can see loads has been spent on her and I only bought it a couple of weeks ago.

I like it, follows alot of cues that I had thought of for mine.

Got a straight on picture?

I will take some more pictures later today and post them.
Also the extra mudguard made of alloy on the back was to allow her to be MOT'D as apparently now a reflector has to be fitted to the rear!!

GPzRocker, pic of front added. I will work on front end one day, but first need to cure two cylinders down back-firing problem. New stanchions, yokes, h-bearings, h-light, indicators and fittings, horn and re-wiring.

Thanks. I think I could do that without altering my bike too much. I like it.

Nice.
Black out that catch bottle on the right side perhaps?
