For me its the "EF" Suzuki, yep, Im Old Skool!!

Cheap enough, you can still find runners which are under $3K, Engines are Strong and are accepting to Extreem Engine Modifications, and they look as Tuff as F#$K!!

Mate that is one sweet n tuff lookin EF ,nice work

Just out of left field, I have always been interested in something along the lines of a middle-weight, that I can just use for fanging around to the shops or on errands where parking is made easier and it's also cheap on fuel. Something slightly unusual that was well built. I like to do up a Honda Bros 400 or the 650 V twin, which from all accounts, would make an excellent "cafe-racer" type fun bike and being a twin, single sided swing-arm, great reliability + it's lighter and easier on the wallet, gas and rubber. Second alternative would be a Bonneville or a trident T160, but these are always going to be labour/maintentance intensive.

Back in 1983 when I was working in Victoria Barracks, Sth Melbourne, I rode a spanking RD400 Yamaha and parked at work next to a guy's Katana 750 (SILVER). We both admired each other's bikes. I reckoned his was awesome for its radical style and power and he loved mine for its nimbleness and power!

Tony, whats the go with the Rear Guard, is it K,K,Kawasaki?

[Tony Nitrous]

Yeah, sorry!

Frame and seat were both shortend,
tail was a cut up genuine early Z900 part.

I like the shorter look.
My 1100ET has been done the same.

(and the Busa's starting to look worried!)
