Very cool!!
The wheels, brakes, forks and swinger look to be RZ but can’t figure out what the frame is?

I need to do some googling, don't remember seeing body work like that on them.

Cool ride.

It's like riding a giant bucket.
The guy did mostly ok with the build but there are quite a few things that don't meet my very high standards. I'm going to ride it as is until it gets too cold then strip it and re do the huckery bits. Repair and remount the pipes is first on the list.

nice looking bike, USA import? Can't remember them with that bodywork and livery. Last I remember {UK} were the early 1980's KH500/750. Better frames but noticably de-tuned from the early series.

I got caught with that too GrayWolf, its a home made thingy. Doesn't look too bad tho.

Yeah he's well known. Selling off a lot of his stuff.
That'd be cool to buy and go do some skids.

$35k and reserve not met.
Mine must be worth at least 1/2 that since it is 1/2 H2...
