So, what do I think of this Bike ???

My first 1000cc Motor Bike !!!
I brought it from Bikewise, along the London Road. Rodger (own of the ownwers) sold it to me in a really good deal.
It cost me my old Suzuki GS550 Katana and £50. I was so happy. With that, especially as the Katana had a dodgy gear box.
 
When I first purchased it. it was stolen recovered, Cat.D
The original body work was damaged and, on my first ride out, the tail piece fell off !!!
 
Over the following years I made a few changes to the bike. . . . .
  • clip-ons
  • Raask Rear Sets
  • Harruis 4-in-1 Exhaust
  • Power Bronze, twin headlight, full fairing
  • several big bore kits . . . Ended up as 1240cc (78mm Kawasaki pistions)
  • Big Kent Cams
  • Shim under Buckets
  •  
  • I went everywhere on this bike. Just strapped the luggage on the back al off I went
