Well after many a hard days and nights i have got my beloved Kr1s race bike ready for some more action.
I was looking through the forums and found and photo of a kr1s where one of the members had changed the colours i think on a pc or something.
I used to have a 1990 Kawasaki AR125 in old skool red & black which i loved when i was a teenager.
So i thought i would put paint to panels and here it is.
Before and after.. Oh and i painted it all with rattle cans, my 1st time spraying
Oops ! Then i crashed it twice last year..
Now the new old skool retro colours..

Thanks guys, yes ive got rgv front end so the bike has matching wheels now
The forks have damping adjusters on top so im not sure if there early rgv sp forks and ive fitted bitubo heavy spring with 15 sae fork oil.
I have also fitted a zx6r 2001 front brake master cylinder (awesome) cheaper alternative to brembo

Was your AR like this one Andy ?
I like AR's meeeeeeeeeeeeee
Your colour scheme looks brilliant - it's the missing C2 model that should have been. Hey maybe we should start a rumour... It's the concept model and they only built 10 for UK only.. Ho ho ho

I seem to remember the AR125 used to corner very well for the skinny tyres it had.. I had one as a courtesy bike once for a couple of weeks..
I like the concept bike idea lol..

The race bike looks great, and the AR looks like a wee GPZ.
