Hi all
Been lurking in here for a while reading about the fun that you have here, so figured I'd better introduce myself.

I'm Steve, in Orange NSW. I have only been back riding for two years after a seven year break (kids...etc) but never got rid of my toys. I currently have two '84 Zx 750E1 (Gpz 750 turbo). One will be restored to original condition and the second will become the bike that it should have always been ( go 'round corners and stop!).
I do mostly two-up riding with my 16 year old son.

Hopefully seeing ya around the traps
Steve

Cool! I used to have a 1984 GPz750 many many moons ago! great touring bike! you could really load it up with stuff and she'd still pull 220 two up

I had mine back in NZ and the Boss of Kawasaki NZ had the turbo model .... he bought it as a wreck with about 7000k on it and restored it to better than new!
Welcome!

From 1 Steve to another, Hi & welcome to our site. Had the turbo model myself years ago, can still remember the pull as the boost LED's light up!!
