Hi I am looking for a cheap runabout for this summer which I plan to bobber over next winter. Paintwork condition etc not a problem just need a strong motor and a bike I can get mot'd for this summer.
I made the mistake of taking a friends twin out for a spin and since then have a yearning to build a bobber.
Cheers

it would be criminal to modify a motorcycle in as good original condition as that. would you do it to a z1 in that condition ?

If you end up going for the Kawasaki & need any advice drop me a PM, i've been learning about them over the last few months as im building a cafe, i'll hopefully have most of it built back up over this weekend. They seem ok for even an amateur like me to work on & they wear a Kawasaki badge
