Any other old school Kawasaki zx bike lovers on here? Myself I have an 89 zx10 that i ride and a 90 zx10 that I got for parts.

 

My 89 is naked right now. Working on a set of clean fairings to paint and restore.

This is my father and his 1986 zx1000a1 ninja (and also my old 1967 gs340).

Dad bought this bike new in 1987 as a leftover. As a kid I went to a million bike nights, rallys, meets, toy runs, etc... on the back. It was the first street bike I ever rode at 14 years old, I rode it to mid Ohio from New York one year, and was the first vehicle I ever went over 120mph on. It's the first year of the zrx race replicas, so the engine still says GPZ all over it but the frame is a zx vin. By modern standards it a really good sport tourer, but back in the 80's these and GSXRs were hot shit in a champagne glass.

 

I remember reading cycle world in 1989 when they said there would never be a bike made faster than the zx10. How wrong they were.

I have always wanted an Eddie Lawson replica.

 

It's a fun bike, comfortable, fast enough to get me in trouble, handles decent or what it is. On the one hand I would like to make some more power but n the other hand I know it's plenty fast enough for what I'm going to do with it.
