Something different
Been looking at old school bikes for a while now?
Bought this yesterday for a resto project.
1987 750 5 valve genesis. Body work is tatty, but I am sure my painter can work his magic.
Looking at a Kenny replica paint job. And stripping the bike right back, having a slight frame repair, powder coat etc.
Going to be a long haul, but I hope it will turn out ok....

Tolerance will be our undoing.

I had a go a while back on a bike I had wanted for ages when I was younger and couldn't believe how small it felt it did however make me realise I am definitely in need of modern brakes ... That said I have just had an hour looking at some lovely old school cafe racers
For the avoidance of doubt and for the benefit of my wife, not everything I may say here will be absolutely true I may on ocassion embellish a little for effect.
That said when it comes to motorbikes, I like to ride side saddle with a nice frock

Ha ha ha you promised me no more, you just can't resist can you. Really like them Jay had an FZ750 a good few years ago, engines are sweet but my brakes were wooden, wish I'd kept it.
I don't care if you lick windows,
Take the special bus
Or occasionally pee on yourself.
You hang in there sunshine, you're special!

I used to lust through the local bike shop window at an early model exup in pearl white, was very pretty.blinkey501 wrote:Yep....D-Rider wrote:...... speed blocks ......randomsquid wrote: When you say kenny replica do you mean the yellow and black square deal?
Although through advice of the FZR forum, I might respray it beck to original....
