Awesome! BTW a mate of mine has two scrap books of I think complete Kawasaki models brochures from 1972/73. Kawasaki used to make an amazing array of models including lotsa dirtbikes!
Ahhh the HQ Holden. Great old car way ahead of its time- early HQs had clear 'bling' front indicators, late ones didn't! I wonder if the front indicators could fit the rear bumper?
2 X ZRX1200R 4 X ER6N, GT550, 1988 ZX-10, 4 X GPZ250R, 4 X GPZ900R and GPZ750R
Yeah I like Kawasakis.

haha i reckon its awesome reading these old skool articles. Seeing how they go on about "MASSIVE 80hp" "1/4 mile in 12 secs" haha! i know it was good for the time! but not coming from that era i find it quite humerous!
good work!
