Z1000 vs GS1000

[NZsarge]

Moriwaki, Ivan Tighe and Keihin CR are the juicy bits to go for with old school Zeds

Man that centre one looks ferkin' mint!

Great thread! My introduction into bikes was the '81 GSX 1100
It was the first bike I had ever sat on much less ridden. I look back on that now and think I was lucky not to have dumped it.
Last couple of weeks I have found a lot of my old muscle car, drag car, and bike pictures I thought they had been lost for sure.
Dont know how many of these there were in NZ but they were a favorite of mine. I always have my eye out for a real clean one to do a restore on.

Here we are first day, just riding up to my dads shop...ck out that monster rear tire

Cheers for sharing. I've got it's little brother, a GSX750EX in the shed and had an EZ from new for 3 years. 1100s where very popular here and generally had the larger tank with lower bars. Bloody bullet proof.
