saw this VERY nice RD350... hmm.






and this kettle (i think it is anyway bit before my time)



modded h***a CBX1100 the six cylinder monster there was three of them there.


and what has gotta be the coolest Z1000 ive seen

LC & Z look trick - those don't look like standard barrels/head on
the LC unless my memories going

i thought they looks too new.
u can get big bore kits to take them out to differing sizes up to 480cc (120bhp ish sign here sir )

it got loads of attention and rightly so as the place was filled with the normal bikes. i would say even my 400 is different to all the red and black CBR's etc there
and it is me or do all aftermarket cbr600RR exhausts look cheap and unfinished?

why don't you post some pics of your CBR? is it a gull arm?

they were a nice looking bike - even if they were a diesel

didn't they have gear driven cams - does away with all that camchain
maintenance

who want's normal !

Beautiful bikes.
The Z is something else, and so is the old kettle. The LC is nice too.
I love LC's, but i think i would have mine in a more standard paint, i'm not an anorak, but i just like the standard paint.

I've seen that Z1000 up at the bike meet in Alton (Wednesday evenings in the summer)
It looks even better in the flesh and sounds fantastic. Despite its pristine appearance it gets ridden properly as well, it certainly came past me fast enough

i shall have to post some pics of mine.
its not the Gullarm mine is a triarm.
they look similar but are totally different under the skin
both have geardriven cams (sounds great) the gull arm has ram air
both make similar power around 55-60bhp.
and getting any 1 to service it is a pain.... its not quite as bad a a VFR but then the VFR is a V4 but does seem to be more common.

The Z looked awesome and u can tell it gets ridden... ie no chicken strips.
a mate of mine has a Rickman Z and its bloody fast and sounds awesome.
there is something about the 70's muscle and sports bikes that i find appealing

That's a nice rd-350. I like the Z-1000 too. I have 2 kawasaki 900's 1974 Z1-a's. One of them i bought new in 1974. It was the fastest bike around at the time. i weighed 135 lbs then and raced a lot of people on bikes and in cars. It would scare the shit out of you going around corners fast though. The frame flexed a lot!

The lc's got power valve or tdr / tzr top end. The carbs look like flat slides as well rather than the std mikunis.

Is that a see through casing on a dry clutch ?

Wander why the water pump is exposed ?

They're all very neatly put together.

Autosol must have a factory near there...............that's a serious amount of polishing

polishing is good... shame the UK weather and local authorities disagree LOL

Yes that is a clear window over the clutch, no its not a dry clutch and from the looks of the white oil in there I would say that lovely bike is leaking water at the waterpump seal into the oil. THe see threw cover and that waterpump plate can be bought from NK racing.

The LC has a Cheetah big bore kit on it (they go up 620cc I think but you need to modify the casings and fit a stroked crank) The TDR/TZR engine is completly different to that of the RD as the carbs feed directly into the crankcase as opposed to being bolted to the barrel.

Z is very cool always liked the old air cooled, just like something from MadMax
