Thanks High Side. Now any suggestions on where I can find parts for this klassic kawi? centerstand, engine guards (maybe I can make them myself), clutch plates and maybe kickstands are the stuff I may need in the future. 18" tires shouldn't be too difficult and there's a lot of life on these tires.

I'd never thought an old 750 would have such power that could stand up to today's bikes. 90HP in lower RPMs is awesome for drag racing...

You know, it would be great if there were like 400 people that knew and trusted each other with 400 bikes and - you just swap for a different bike whenever you want something different.

I know people who ride different brand of sport bikes and some cruisers that we can swap for a ride in a parking lot. I'm just the oddball who has bikes that no one really wants to ride because my machines seem foreign to them but I can ride theirs. I actually stand out like a sore thumb with my boxy more up-right machine in a group of sleek sport bikes and fat cruisers.

Two other bikes I was close to getting: GPz 900 R, but insurance wanted much more.

an early Honda CB 750 (too much chrome and I don't want a cruiser(?) but would have been interesting to own).

Sounds like a good group. The only problem is there would need to be some extra insurance - maybe on a date basis for if people have problems and drop other people's bikes, or hopefully never - crash them.

They all have frame sliders and guards and they're the type to go to salvage yards for spare parts and fix it themselves. Also it's only a small try out in empty parking lots. On the road it's your own ride.
