It was some bike kwakerz and very scary some times, I bought mine new in around 1981 it was one of the first in my area kept getting stopped to talk about it even the police one day and me thinking i was pinched :smt012 i ended up letting him ride it.. :smt020

Here are a couple of pictures the bike was fitted with a cool Rickman conversion, or at least it was then... :smt002 looks dated now!
It needed it to get the benefit of those horses though :smt004

Build quality was poor though and the exhausts rotted out in less then a year I had some alfa 4into 1 pipes fitted but diden't look quite right apart from that my Kawasaki dealer in reading ripped me off every service ended up doing it myself. :smt001

That's smart, and the whole pic is a trip down memory lane. :smt001

My 900 was originally a local coppers bike. He pulled me over once , just for a chat about it. :smt003

You'll upset the kawa mob as it's a GPz1100 not a GPZ1100 and to be anal it looks like a B model :smt003
