My Dad had a Zodiac. I think. Somebody did.
But we digress. I was of course talking about motorcycles, hence the Kawasaki kind of emulating Z900s. Kinda.

Can you imagine how miserable they would be to drive? That scrapes the border of my experience. Cars of that era were Dreadful. Bikes just pissed on them by a much larger margin than now.Originally Posted by HenryDorsetCase
You'd bump your way along slowly with dramatic crucial gear changes thinking; gee I hope I look a lot cooler than I feel..
Yeah. You're remembering how that felt aren't you?
Saved you some money.

I paid $300 for one for my first car and then turned it into a Street Stock and wrecked it at Woodford Glen, that was 3 weeks wages back in 1980

Do you really though? Only 2/3 the engine it should have, one of those horrid underpowered models the poms liked to build.

Kite brothers of Napier used to cut down quite a few cars into utes. Regularly featured in NZ Hot Rod magazine. Imaging the certification hurdles that would have to be jumped now.

Probably not too optimistic in terms of price, but maybe qualifies for this thread with the obligatory exhaust wrap, and hasn't escaped the seemingly overwhelming desire some people have to chop bits off.
Would it need the seat changed and bar ends to pass a wof?
