Eye Candy - Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Show

06 Sep 2008 22:09 - 06 Sep 2008 23:21

I headed down to a little vintage Japanese bike show here in Scottsdale at one of the local restaurants tonight. It was fairly small, but some really nice bikes showed up. The KZ, RZ, CBX, H1 and Yamaha v4 2 stroke belong to friends of mine. Beautiful bikes. Enjoy.

Very nice. I remember riding one of those rz350's around for a weekend. What a blast! Really fast for a 350. But any 2 stroke is quick. :laugh:

Who wouldn't want that entire collection in their garage? I'd have to say my favorites in the pics are the smaller dual sports.

1976 KZ 400 (Free, free, free...needs major work)
2004 Intruder Volusia
ex- 1976 KZ 400 Hot rod (Owned by return2ridin before me and Wolfencopter after me. Does anyone have it now
?)
ex- 1978 KZ 200
Bergen County, NJ

Aint no time to hate....barely time to wait

That 69 H-1 is worth some serious dinero. It looks to be over restored but it still looks very nice and would command a very nice price.

Those are fabulous except the 900. I'd have had to kick it out of the show, but the rest are great. Everything from the dirtbikes to the H1 to the Suzuki GT750. How did the 900 get mixed in there I wonder?

321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.
