You and Your First Streetbike

[OZXJR]

And my GPZ 550 like my 4th street bike but it was next to the other picture when I scanned them.

I had the same model in 1983,what a fun bike that was :thumbup:

No picture available right now, but it was a 2005 Kawasaki Z750S. Bought late in 06 as a new left over. Wish I hadn't sold it, but I love the FZ so it's all good.

Thats my GF First Bike :rockon: I LOVEEEEE her bike lol, they are very hard to find or i probably would have bought one just like hers instead of the FZ6. BUT i am happy with the fz6 and hopefully she will let me ride hers again one day.

She saw that i dropped my other one twice and wont let me touch it after that hahaha. I only got to ride the z750s once for about 20 minutes and it was a fun bike and it sounds mean stock.....Unlike my poor little FZ

You are right about not being able to find them. I tried to find another for a few months before I got the FZ. It's the closest thing to the Z750s that I liked. Of course a week after getting the FZ, I located a Z750.
Just wasn't meant to be I guess. And yes, the Z has a distinctive growl to it...miss that the most.

Nice! I test drive a RD350 few times. A friend of mine use to have one. That thing was a beast 0 to 100 MPH!!!!

Here I am terrorizing the neighborhood! I'm 15 y.o. on that pics. There were not so many of those fine machine. In Quebec you can ride anything under 49.9 cc at 14 y.o. in the street. So that's what I had. 1982 Honda MB5. 5 speed, clutch... everything a real bike should have...

As far as I know (I race about every 50cc's know to man within 50 miles from where I lived back then, even my other 3 friends who had one) that was the fastest 49.9 in the hood! I clock 120 km/h with that! Even when Yam came up with the YSR... I was smoking them in 4th gear! I should have kept it... good souvenirs!!!:rockon:

Anyone notice the custom work on that pipe... for the knowledge I had back then, I did good!
