Classic Jap bikes

sccccchwwwwwiiiiiiiiinnnnnnng!

lol. When I get my grubbly lil hands on it I'll clean it up and take some proper pics to share. I'll not restore that one, as I believe works bikes should be as they were last ridden.

Now...best you share some more pics of your gorgeous beasts!!??

They all have alloy tanks (LOL!)

How's this for a pipe. 27 cuts to make it fit...Wobbly pipes.

I'd love to own a TZ750, despite my only encounter with one leaving me with a badly broken collar bone!

There's going to be another Classic Japanese Motorcycle Show in Christchurch in March 2013. Click on Gallery/Shows and Events in the link below to have a look at what the 2010 show looked like. If you want to show your pre 1985 road bike, dirt bike or barn find make contact through the website.

I'll open up a new thread on the show in early 2013 with a downloadable poster. Cheers, TC

Something to remind you of it....listen to this...

Is one we prepared earlier (about 2003). Is a bit of a mixuture, but engine was was pretty funky. A little TOO funky. rather than the reed valve TZ750 cylinders, we fitted 2x TZ350F/G piston port cylinders....Wobbly pipes, PVL ignition, speccy heads, and 38mm carbs!

Good contender for post classic land speed record attempts, but a bit hard work to ride around a circuit. 140hp at this point and a bit more later, but went from 50 to 100bhp between 70000 and 8000 rpm! A high side looking for a corner exit and in fact one time at band camp it did knock out the rider!

Sounds like the perfect side car engine, just imagine a grid full of those engines on song! ban the four bangers and bring back the 2 smokes with all the sounds and drama.

Last time I heard that, it was followed closly by the snapping of my collar bone!
