Seeing as the GPz is on the cover, I'm guessing that is in there

Zx7r, the 05 zx636 would definitely be in the mix IMO.

Cool. ..I got one of each so I better hang on to em...

Mmm maybe i should hang on to my 96 ZX7R to.
Still hanging onto my ef enhanced tickford xr6 because someone in the know told me there the next big thing in the car collector's world........ we will see..

Here's an interesting timeline for Kawasaki bikes:

It puts the names and dates into perspective.

I have seen some retards on ebay trying to flog off their blue&white GS1000S as a "Wes Cooley Replica" which is a total crock of shit, Suzuki never used this when these bikes were released - they were simply the 'S' version of a GS1000, and Wes Cooley rode one....

Spot on Gos, I have a blue/white S & I'm fucked if I know why people refer to them as Wes replicas.
As far as I'm concerned, this is a faithful Wes Cooley replica because it's the same look as the bike he did most of his winning on.

If one of those dont give u a hard on, then ur got no pulse.........
they would have to be one of the sweetest and trick looking bikes u will ever see
Be interest to know what one would fetch these days, bearing in mind a few prob got writin off back then... how many are still around i wonder??

According to "the Kawasaki Story" there were only 17 S1's actually "sold". Makes you wonder how many were actually "made"

The difference to Eddie's being the use of CR Special 33mm Carbies as opposed to the Flat Slide EI type on No21

The story above say's 29, ive read in the past that there were 31 made.
Ive got a book by mike walker about kawasaki's, but that does'nt say, but if only 17 were sold, what happened to the other's??

29 were shipped but just going by the engine #s you have to think there was an #053 #068 & #069 also....
