1971 Honda 750 K1
I found these pictures on the Internet that looks alot like one of the many Honda 750s that I had owned in the past. They certainly were nice smooth bikes back in the day and there were tons of aftermarket stuff for it. Enjoy these pictures:
1971 Suzuki T 125 in Kansas
David in Kansas sent me these pictures of his Dad’s 1971 T 125. It has been garaged all these years and is pretty much original only needing a throttle cable and the usual maintenance to bring a classic like this back to life. If anyone is interested in buying this, email me and I will put you in contact with David.
Sure brings back memories!
KZ400 Website
This site has the most info and pictures I have found so far about the KZ400. Check it out!
June is a busy month so far
It is almost the middle of the month and I have not posted anything. Work has been good. I guess with our gasoline prices near $3 a gallon, we are getting more people wanting to ride again, plus you cannot beat the San Diego weather.
I have over 3200 miles on the DR650 (in less than a 2 1/2 months) and have had no problems whatsoever with it. I changed the sprockets on the Qlink from 14/48 to 15/44 so now it runs a slower and more normal RPM at road speeds. It was geared very low for stock. I keep it down at the range mostly, so I can run errands during the week when I have my truck there. I have taken the other 3 bikes out this month, the Superhawk, the XS650E, and the XS750F and they are all fine. The Superhawk is still the torque monster and prone to wheelies even without trying, so I have to be very careful on it. Both of the old Yamahas have nothing but character and they are a pleasure to ride.
I installed some larger florescent lighting fixtures in the garage as when the heat of the summer comes, I will probably work more in the evening than during the day.
I am still looking for some pictures of a KZ750 (twin), a Cimatti 100 short tracker, and a stock KZ400.
Have a great month of June and remember, if you do not ride your motorcycle to work daily, then at least ride in on June 15th!
