My new bike - 1983 Kawasaki KZ550

So, I may have spoken too soon yesterday. I was a bit annoyed with the bike and its somewhat iffy performance. However, I think it may have been some bad gas. I filled up yesterday and calculated 41 MPG. After filling up the bike ran quite a bit smoother, and when I filled it up today I calculated 54 MPG, which is where the bike should be. The smoother running engine was much nicer on the interstate today.

Still, though, now I've got it in my head that I want a different bike (I'm sure some of you know the feeling), so I'm still keeping my eye out.

BTW, here are some up-to-date photos:
