Kinda functional beauty to my eyes.

My pal raced one in the day. Said it tried to kill him every lap.
Swapped it for GSXR and won the Auto66 championship

That what a good Kawasaki does.

That one looks like an AR125 to me.

I knew someone who had one, we convinced him to take it to Santa Pod, it wasn't that quick standard, so he took the silencer off, it was now as quick as another friends GPZ1000RX, so we wedged the waste gate shut, it was then feckin quick, but no one thought the engine would have lasted long, so the waste gate was unwedged.

That looks very tasty. Ok, I'm not a huge fan of the seat. But the rest is good and nicely 80s.

Love the guy's loafers also.

VFR swinger put me off initially as I'm not a great fan of mongrel bikes, but then I got passed that and read the article. After reading this I was all in!

I like that not sure about the rear indicators, looks very clumsy stuck in that ox above the tail light
