Going through some old family photos the other day and found this pic.
Thought I would share here.
This one dates I think to 1980 (judging by the bikes too).
(oops will post the pic)
Cheers

I see Kawaka's run in the family....
They shall not grow old as we that are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the evening,
we will remember them

Actually, my old man was a Suzuki nut, his was the GSX-E (I think it was a 750). That's his mate Derek with the 750 Twin.
But yes he had the Mach111 in the olden days too.

A little bit of facial hair and you two could be twins....

A lot of people have said that. Pity he left us so young.
It is great that I find these pics from time to time and etch more of his motorcycling history together.

Cool photo mate, I remember the ol' Z750, they were pretty good in their day

The 750 fours were good, from what I remember, the twin's weren't as good, as SPman stated.

C'mon lets ride....
ET by the looks. Here's a pic of my EX to compare it with- http://www.kiwibiker.co.nz/forums/at...2&d=1096607998
The Z750 twins where heavy for what they where but reliable as though. The Z650s of the era were a better ride. The Z750 fours came out around 81/82 IIRC. Basicly uprated 650 donk.
Oh and some good info on the Gasaxe 750 here- http://www.suzukicycles.org/GSX-series/GSX750E.shtml
The Aus models, which we got, had the bigger fuel tanks than shown on the ETs on that site.
Slapper?
awsome old pic...funny my dad had a gsx the same color years back..like you say great to see those old photos...somewere there is one of my old man on a vincent...pudding bowl and all.

Yup that website is a wealth of info alright.
Reason I say I think it was a 750 is that he owned a 1100EX before he got the Katana. From what I remember, that was black.
I also remember as a kid laughing at it as it had a wee picture of the bike on the dash with warning lights including a sidestand shaped light.

Thats right. The 1100 also had thicker fork tubes, damber adjustment at the bottem of the fork lowers, a box section swing arm and 17" rear wheel. One of my workmates currently has one.
Owned a 750EZ from new back in 82-85, wished I'd kept it.

Glad to have given you this memory trip too
