Hi all!
23 Apr 2026 08:18
I am just returning to riding and bike owning since I was in my mid 20's, I am 54 now. My first bike was an 82 CSR1000, sadly I wrecked it being young and dumb, got it road worthy for a couple of years in my 30's and it developed problems I didn't know how to fix and couldn't find a mechanic for so it sat until I gave it away. Last year my best friend got the bike bug and as you know it's infectious so I hunted down an 82 LTD1000, practically the same bike as my old CSR so we could ride together. I just love the exhaust note of those big inline 4's. Anyway, that's a little about me. I'm happy to be here among people who know and share my passion for these bikes.

Welcome to KZR the world's best resource for air cooled Kaws !
I'm hoping you would consider taking a motorcycle safety class as you move back into riding.
