Nice !Always liked these 929's in this color scheme with the big black wing and the white numberplate. Poked around on marketplace to see what I could see...going price is $5-8k? Whaaaat?
I really know very litte about the history of motorcycles but after looking up the GPZ and now appreciating it's significance I want one now too!If I had "Jay Leno" money my two favorite bikes would be:
1981 Kawasaki GPZ 550
1983 Yamaha IT 490
(Properly sorted and plated)
😎👍😎
We all want "unobtainium"I find myself wanting any new ICE BMW since they've put a national hold on the sale of them. Always wanting what ya can't have...
If I had Jay Leno money I'd find the absolute best, most meticulous, and OCD motorcycle mechanic that I could hire to come to my garage weekly and perform any service required. That way I wouldn't stress at all about buying bikes that need a little work or about any bikes I bought being neglected.We all want "unobtainium"
That's why I need "Jay Leno" money.....

And what a bike they were, I had a Suzuki T500 a 1976 red and gold stripe it was a fantastic distance tourer i went all over Uk and europe on it and it never missed a beat a fantastic simple torquey bike it was. I loved that bike it even handled well once i put it on Dunlop TT 100s . I loved it and only sold it clear out my dads building for my new zealand move.My first real motorcycle
Heck ya!! The BBK kits would almost be 700cc and few crazy riders squeezed in a 1000cc with some carb spacing issues on the 400 chassis. I might back the opposite. My fzr 600 rolling chassis with a maico/Zabel engine. Haha yee!. Rolling chassis weighs 150lbs!How about an FZR400 with a 600cc swapped in?
What do you ride, Hania? If you’re up to it you should consider starting an intro post over in the New Member Intros section. 👍Personally, the KTM Duke 200 is one of my favorite motorcycles. It offers good mileage and is considered one of the Best Motorcycles for Daily Commuting in 2023.
I would definitely choose the KTM Duke 200. It is a good motorcycle for daily routine rides and it can be helpful in long rides as well.If you could have any bike you wanted what would you choose?
The Duke 200 looks like it would be a real fun backroad blaster but pretty marginal as an around town commuter. A small scooter is much better as a commuter.I would definitely choose the KTM Duke 200. It is a good motorcycle for daily routine rides and it can be helpful in long rides as well.
Very cool! What chassis and engine combo? Looks like a rebel/nighthawk engine. If so I beat a cm200 for 3 yrs of commuting 2014-2017. The bike sounded glorious in 3rd downhill at 45mph. I felt like Mike the bike Hailwood....only ptwin I ever owned. I sold the bike to a 275lb giant that rode from Akron to Pittsburg on the interstate at above the speed limits. We laughed about it..because with me two up the bike found a 2nd wind at 60mph in 4th..top gear. This was absolutely the easiest multi to tune with the stock round slide. Your project might have me thinking! Great project!One of my unfinished projects, it won't be fast but might be fun.
