Take note how rusty the front disc's are, She had not been ridden for 2 years.

That is very nice, love the colour scheme.

WOW... I feel like I have found home. so cool.

Kids are away at thair grand parents... drinking beer.. small puff and Neil Young... Live .....10min of Slipped Away....boot leg. And life could not get better!

I love my classic Jap bikes... these were the things that made me get hard when i was young.... First the Kat... then the GSXR and RG... the RG500 was it that was well increadable. I made a pact to myself that one day I would own one.

Brought the 750... felt like a failure.. but paid it off to the misses... and then this came up.. 10min call at lunch time to the nag and it was brought... subject to the bank.

Its a keeper Mike, under restoration now, and I dont care if it take 10 years to restore.

Dont need to buy a retro look bike, when I own one of the better retro super bikes from the late 70"s.

And one day we might just ride a road together, you on the XS750, me on the XS1100

The RG250 - this was a WW model that suffered a wiring loom fire, was pretty munted and was going to be scrapped. A local guy got stuck in and rebuilt it - the paint job is all spraycan, including the graphics. Its a hoot to ride, espec on the rough roads locally....Life starts at 7000......

**avgas** · 13th July 2012, 14:31

heh I should post my 87 FZR here.........would make a few people cry to see what I have done to it..........and they wouldn't be tears of joy.

One day she will blow up / decompose

those WW models are now selling for big money in Japan

worth restoring and hanging on to
