Wow, love those two Kawasaki's in the last photo. Somebody has really taken great care of those baby's or spent a lot of time and money getting them into that good of condition. They look ready to roll off the showroom floor. I guess I'm just an old fart, but I really like the style of those bikes better than the ones made today.

I would kill for that KZ1000.

Great shots, thanks for sharing these pics. I guess I'm a little prejudiced about the in-line twin since my Vulcan 500 is of similar design and although they may not be as visually appealing as the V-twins many modern bikes use today, those in lines seem to be superior performance motors to the V's in many respects.

This being a Vintage club, there are some nice bikes that show up.

V-twin vs inline twins usually is torque vs speed.

I traded the GZ for a Virago 250. It will go from 15 mph to 85 in 5th gear.

A lot of plus and minus between the two.

Barn find 8700 miles, 70's model GS 500.

Beautiful bike, but I'd hate to think what would happen to that big, round, chrome, thingummy, if the bike slipped forward off the side stand. :poorbaby:

Hey, half of the smilies have vanished! :??:
