Almost complete, Its missing the left hand front blinker and a couple faring screws.
I don't know if it runs as I don't know who owns it. On close inspection it needs a fair amount of attention to improve its reliability.

Yep bloody good bike in their day,i had 2 of them.
Sure they dont go and handle like the bikes of today but in their time they were easiest the best turbo going around.I could tell you the time i got caught in nsw doing 250 on one but thats another story.

Gawd I remember this beast. Was my first road bike, done my L's on an XL75 & got the guy I brought it off to deliver it to my place as was not game to ride it home. Sat there for 2 days while I summoned courage & nearly fell off first corner. Brakes were a joke, mine tank slapped in a straight line backing off from 235kph. Dropped a chain in Syd & had to wait a week there, as it took off oil sensor & tore a hole in side plate. Replaced clutch in Adelaide. Got hailed on & aqua plained in Canberra. What memories.....................
Traded her in on a spanking new '92 ZX750R & never looked back
