I do however thoroughly enjoy looking at any classic piece of machinery in original condition and have the utmost respect for those who have the skill, time and patience (not to mention money ) to bring a vehicle back to it's former glory, guys like GregZ and Mark (Pertonpc) spring to mind.
Still, nothing beats an all original, unrestored, unmolested and extremely well maintained classic motorcycle, as far as that goes they don't come much nicer than this. Congrats Ed, most deserved.

I promised to use bikes that are stock and modified , and I think this Months BOTM shows just how far a 750 can be taken.
So Please Join Me In Welcoming LORCAN to BOTM :lol: :silly:
Parnell Lorcan is a dedicated member of the Fast is Never Fast enough Club. But how can you blame a man for having a lust for speed when his Dad races into his 70s and owns a Kawasaki Dealership.
I don't plan on even trying to give you members a accurate description of all the work and changes that have gone into Lorcans GPZ 750 Turbo. I will leave that to Lorcan , as only he knows the answers to all the potential questions. But I will say Great Job Buddy !!!!!!!
Lorcan also has a drag only 750 with a one piece body that he races and is also the Pilot of the Storm bike which is returning to the track soon. Look Lorcan up and view more information on the 750 Turbo site which he manages
GREAT BIKE PARNELL !!!!!!! Thanks for sharing it with us here at KZR
