...working on Pussy's wish list
I have a RE (Eng) engine. A 500 single. Think a 1930/early 40 - unsure. (I need help)Enfield,
Enfield
Even a Royal Enfield
I wanna build a cafe racer with it. A little red sexy number (after the trump is finished)
1936 Triumph L2/1 - 250 - have one....just have to clear a workbench & restore it (frame getting welded next wk, yay!)
This is kinda what it'll look like when done

Well there is another I'd be keen on, maybe a Classic Harley. You could turn up to HOG meetings. In the wind Brother

I'm looking at a Honda V45 Sabre VF 750 S, at the moment, any one owned one?, good points bad points things to watch for, yep it is 27 yrs old, but its reasonably tidy for a shead sitter, I know I will be up for new tyres, fork seals, break pads, possibly rear shock, service, carbs clean and tune up.

Iv owned a few Kawasaki's, from the Mighty 500 triple to the Z1000.
Just after I bought my new Z1000 they brought out the Z1300 ... I really lusted after one of those but could never afford one. Finally after many years I found two for sale on trademe so I bought them.
I fully restored the first one and Im currently turning the other one into a turbocharged monsterwell its been sitting there for a while so I felt it deserved to be revived

I found another to add to my list, a MKM1000

Hmmm..that looks like the Krauser BMW ...and it is.
I could probably afford the model....
A krauser powered BMW raced here years ago, and most of it ended up in my friends shed.....until recently...he mentioned he sold it back to I think the original owner....and it may be reunited with the 4 valve heads...

Duncan someone or other? from Boxer performance? it was race quite successfully in Bears and I think timed at around the 150mph markA krauser powered BMW raced here years ago, and most of it ended up in my friends shed.....until recently...he mentioned he sold it back to I think the original owner....and it may be reunited with the 4 valve heads...

You're thinking of Duncan McKee, and yeah, he ran a business in Wellington called Boxer Performance in the '90s. His was the black airhead which was raced with Krauser heads and a host of other trick bits. It went very well. After he binned the racebike, he swapped the Krauser heads and other bits onto his R80 roadbike and developed that bike into a formidable road-legal weapon until he binned that as well . . . .
There was also a white airhead set up along similar lines which raced in Bears quite successfully around the same period. It also had Krauser heads and other equally trick bits, and was built & raced by Sean Kelly. Sean recently (like three weeks ago!) bought the sorry remains of the white bike back and intends to get it back on the track, but without the Krauser heads this time.
Suzuki Dinosaur tamer.......
My wish list is dominated by Kawasakis, which is odd seeing as I have a GS1000

Really? Look at the chain run, the engine is in an awkward place. Besides a TT500 would at best cough out high 30s in race trim, which was 10 or so more than std but they didn't like it. A friend has a nicely restored Maico in the US.
Had a picture of a 490 Sand Spider on my wall as a nipper. . . . Not that I would have been able to start it (then or probably now).
