For me it would this....



It was in the window of Vectis Motorcycles in Cross Street, Ryde when I was 12. I leered at it so much the owner invited me in to sit on it.

I saved every penny from them till I was 14 and still couldn't afford it, don't think I have ever wanted anything as much since then.

1st big bike i ever rode....

Either the ZXR750 in the old "Fly Killer" advert or the KR1S. Both were bedroom poster bikes along with the RGV.

Been trying to find a copy of that ad for a mate of mine for ages.

This bike. I bought it to do the KD thing from riding a cruiser type bike and managed to figure it in about 5 weeks. Not looked back since

I did recently too but google images let me down.

Wonder if anyone else has had any luck?

Joined the site because I had a B1 at the time. I'm not specifically a Kawasaki fan.

Hung around due to irrational fondness for you c*nts.

The S2 350 triple, a guy at college had a mate with one, and he ragged it up and down the street in a cloud of two-stroke smoke, brilliant.  I had an S1C 250 a few years later, but it didn't have the mean attitude of the 350.

GPZ900R

Z650 B1




not the actual one but same colour and year

First bike was a KMX125. Liked the first ZXR's in '89 as thought they looked mean and then saw them around BSB and WSB races. Eventually bought a P model ZX7r in 2003.

My first big bike was a Gpz500, but the bike that made me a kawasaki fan was the ZX7R

Mate at work got a KR1s. Great bike, would love to own a mint example one day.

This puppy started me out..

Same bike, different reason. Was my first big bike and took me to my first trackdays
