Went n had a look at a few old bikes today - local private museum, thought you blokes might like a wee look see. Will have to do a couple of posts to get the pics in.
Last few
fantastic
i had a yamaha 350 lc that had the reverse paint of the white one in your pics (it was a limited edition blue with white decals )
great memories of the older bikes
:cheers:
Is that the museum Mike perro set up in christchurch?
looks awesome...
Yep, Mike Pero's private museum.
Great photos Col. Thanks for sharing.
Lots of nice bikes there.
Like the old red RD.
Red honda 4, my legs shake. just beautiful. spent many ks on lots of those bikes in pics. kawa 900, my legs skake for a different reason, can remember tank slapping at 160 ks, downhill into a big sweeper. mongrel bikes. look pretty. thats all.
Love that Z1R-TC.
Had one on my wish list for many years.
I bid on one once but it had awful non-standard paint and still went for silly money.
Kawasaki is bringing the Z1 back.

Museum!!! That's shocking :laugh:
I'm still riding my Z1300, in fact I have just brought it back from its 30th annual MOT test this morning with a pass and no advisories :)

I was not aware of this one, it could be interesting to see what a modern specification retro bike looks like.
I can't possibly justify having a fifth bike though.....
Can I?

Why not, I'm considering a fifth, but it wont be a jap.

Yes, just another evolution of the current Z650 / Z900 previous Z1000 range.
A few styling changes and a coat of paint. At least when Suzuki did it with the GSX1400 they went BIG, not a tame replica of once great 1100.
The original big Zeds were brutes, something special, class leaders, stand out bikes. I'd love a retro styled "Thug" bike based more on the ZX14R / ZZR1400.

Not from the current range, if they stuck the 1200 engine in a large roadster frame with no fairing I'd be interested. I am thinking more along the lines of a Ducati Monster.
Nice, my old boss had one in his stable, a 1200s. Hardly ever rode it, ended up selling it for another Hardly - yeah go figure, he'd already had a few Hardlys n everytime said he'd never go back & they couldn't handle etc etc.
A treasure trove!
Velly velly nice!
Thanks for sharing!
