Kawasaki Z750 twin

I came by one of these "by distress" . I know they are fairly crap, but just
how crap are they? My mate says "Kawasaki were famous for their fours".
some one else says "with all those balancer shafts, they pull great
wheelies". Used bike guide says what an odd engine , the power of a 400 ,
the fuel consumption of a 900.
Bikes a 78 I think

Steve the grease

Rode one to Cornwall from London in about 1979, not all that bad as I
remember bit vibey, not fast, an improvement on the TS 185 I had at the time
though !!

I know someone near me who has one. Despite all the warnings I could
give him, he's determined to restore it.

No thanks! Happy with my SOIB so far, thanks - at least I will be when
the new clipons go on it tonight. Well impressed with the service from
NLM - ordered two sets of bits and bobs for the Morini so far. Order
placed about lunchtime, parcel arrived on the doorstep the next morning.

Quite enjoying this return to old bikes with skinny tyres and duff
brakes. As excellent as my Goxer and DR-Z are, they're not bikes for
the faint hearted and demand that you ride them balls out pretty much
everywhere. Quite nice to have a bike that doens't demand to be
hammered... not that it's not being ridden in a "spirited" fashion, that
is...
