Hi from Brizvegas

Post by pkay »

Hi all
Just signed up to the forum and thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Paul and I live in lovely suburban Brisbane. I have a few bikes in the shed which includes a number of Kawasaki's. I have a bit of a thing for late '80's and early '90's bikes and I guess this shows in the bikes I have.

The Kawasaki list I guess that classifies as sportsbikes includes:

1985 GPz600R - being reassembled after restoration
1983 GPz750A unitrak - being overhauled at moment - fixing all the nasties but will need starter clutch repair (seems common on this model) and the spark plug threads redone due to some hamfisted previous owner never wanting to remove his spark plugs again......
1986 GPz900R - in the process of being registered
x2 1984 KR250A-1 - one is ready to be registered, the other was a bike I bought for bits but have decided to get back running again.
1988 GPX750 - running beautifully.

There is also an old school Mach 3 which is an absolute hoot to ride and a Z1300 which probably has more torque than all the others combined but has a habit of stalling at the bottom of hills but is not really what I'd call a sportsbike either so promise to not mention that again.

At the moment I am looking at a 1993 ZX7R and debating will I wont I..........

Look forward to reading the wise words of the experts. I'll post some photos in the near future.
Cheers
