Hello from the Uk
25 Jan 2026 07:38
Hello after decades of modern bikes and
2 stroke yamahas. I have gone full circle and
returnd to the bikes that were around when I first took to the road in 1983.
I have recently bought a US spec 1980 kz1000 ltd, I have already started modifying it and sourced an earlier z1000
Tank and 18" rear wheel. I am new to big aircooled kawasakis and wil be asking lots
of questions.
