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....

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

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 like bikes of that era, I've got a soft spot for early zxrs especially.

When you say kenny replica do you mean the yellow and black square deal?

I used to lust through the local bike shop window at an early model exup in pearl white, was very pretty.
