I need shooting for this... !!

Thumbing through More Crap News, I occasionally have a gander through the rice rocket section in the for sale bit and find an old skool jap bike which reminds me of my yoof and puts a big smile on my face..so, assuming you had a style bypass...which (if any) mint japanese example would adorn your dream garage ??!!

Me..choice between

- Original GSXR750 (slobbered over as a spotty yoof!)

- NS400R or KR1S (gotta have a stinkwheel in the collection )..those KR1S's were OFF THE HEAD quick and nimble !! Remember seeing over 140mph on a demo bike down the local bypass..quality !

Would have to be a KR1S (First serious off on 1 of those at my old mans house in Narborough Leicester) Christ knows how i walked away.

Secondly would have to be a ZXR 400 in Blue. Never managed to get 1 of those when i was younger, after binning the KR1S the insurance quote crippled me.

If we are going old school then RD350, new school 2006 R6.


Saying that my mate is building 2 bikes based on an 1100 Katana and a Z1. Both have original engines, seats and tanks, but, have spondon frames, Ohlins rear's, USD front forks, Yoshi 4 in to 1's, new wheels - one running 16.5" marvic's and intermediates on the road.

Idea is to make classic 1980's transatlantic race bikes with modern brakes, suspension and wheels.
