Picked up a 1990 Yamaha FZR1000 a couple of weeks ago. I got it pretty cheaply because it wasn't running and the owner wasn't interested in finding out what was wrong. So it was a gamble on my part.

I rebuilt the carbs, adjusted valves and replaced a few odds and ends and cranked her up over the weekend. Runs great, and cosmetically she's a beaut. I love the classic double headlight look.

 

im so jealous of you. with all your tools and toys and knowledge. wish i was in austin. Im also a big fan of the double headlights. In the last picture whats the black bike that you can barely see?

 

That's my Kwaka ZX11 I got back in the spring. That bike is like a hot rod Lincoln. Big and powerful and very elegant looking.

 

Very nice!!

The Yamaha looks like a Ducati at first glance. Ill be getting/starting off on my first bike right after winter .

 

Wow, congrats, how much did you get it for?

 

both bikes look good, i think ive seen ur maxima around rutland

 

I paid $1500 for it. That's a couple of hundred below loan value. Not a fantastic deal, but it's got pretty low mileage (for a 1990 model) at 17k, and it looks like it has never been dropped or abused.

 

nice pick up

 

Those are soem sweet looking bikes..

 

i love that kawasaki.

 

Very Nice Bikes!

 

body looks pristine! Im diggin the color scheme too.

 

You probably have. I work at the UT Research Campus on north Burnet Rd.

 

forget the bikes, I'm drooling over ur tools...

 

Very nice bikes man. The ZX11 is freakin' sleek, and the FZ1000 looks quick and rugged. Would love either one of those bikes.
