Period 5 - Forgotten Era racebikes from Japan

Post by Gosling1 »

wasn't sure wether to put these up in this thread or the Racing thread - but here are some pictures I have of classic old Zeds, 900 and J style - currently being raced in Japan.

They seem to have a pretty liberal approach to wheels and forks, swingarms etc over there.......but no slicks ! :shock: :?

I really like the Z1R......mmmmm :kuda:

Where are the replica H1's KR's RG's and RZ's?
Z's are over inflated scrap iron these days and I still don't see the appeal to them at all. Others do I suppose but the styling of them is no different to Hondas or Suzukis of the day. Performance and handling are not much different either hence the modern day upgrades no doubt.
