You would have jumped all over the '84 RZ350 I posted about earlier. Completely stock? Since when did you ever see a completely stock RD/RZ? It was a jewel. Some days (like right now) I regret not scraping the money together and making room for it in the garage. Somebody out there got a real beauty! [thumbsup] [bow_down]

Yeah you're probably right  [thumbsup]

Street legal, If your slick enough at the registry, you can slip it in as a no tag no insurance 50cc.

Tony 's Nicosia's Kaw. H-1,Tony Set the AHRA World Record at Loins Drag Strip 1969 111.38 MPH / 12.61 ET it was the fastest St. M/C !

For those of you who don't know much about Tony he is the man who put the wow in Kawasaki.  He is a living legend in the Kawasaki Triples community.  Back when these were new bikes and Kawasaki was looking to make a splash he was the rider they turned to at the dragstrip.  Here's another page I have on him with some more great shots!

From the Wikepedia page:
It was the quickest production motorcycle at the time. When motorcycle journalists expressed some disbelief, Kawasaki suggested they take a new H-1 to the drag strip. Using a regular production model with only 7 miles on it, Tony Nicosia ran the quarter mile in 12.96 seconds at 100.7 mph for the press to witness (the official figure was 12.4 secs by Mike Wenzel - quite believable on a well run in machine). Tony Nicosia set many world records with Kawasaki triples over the following years, including some land speed records at Bonneville Salt Flats

Here he is in all his glory. Thanks Tony!

I plan to list the Federal Gov't. as a dependent on my next 1040 tax filing!

I have flying honey badgers and I'm not afraid to use them!

The fact that flame throwers exist is proof that someone somewhere said "I'd sure like to set those people over there on fire but I'm just not close enough to get the job done."

CONFIDENCE: the feeling you have right before you understand the situation.

Still, I'd settle for a modern bike with similar weight and power. My race bike weighed in at an honest 290lbs (wet) and made an honest 60 HP on the dyno. Is it so much to ask?

Sorry, should have specified reliable / low maintenance and sportbike.

I've got a Duke at the moment and it's a great bike. I just would like something just a bit lighter in a sportbike (not supermoto) package.
I own several motorcycles. I have owned lots of motorcycles. And have bolted and/or modified lots of crap to said motorcycles...

My first bike was a 2-Stroke, when I lived in Sydney.  A Suzuki RG-250.  I always thought it was strange that they required you to ride a 250 for 12months in Australia, but allowed me to ride this 2 stroke suzuki, that had been modded by the guy before me, as my first bike.  I wonder if that has changed since 1999 when I lived there.  I thought this bike was pretty quick and in hindsight, probably not the best for my first experience on a motorcycle:  http://www.cyclechaos.com/wiki/File:1984-Suzuki--Yellow-2.jpg

Wish I could have it back now though, to turn into a little cafe bike in my shed.
