Its nice to ride a bike that most bikers respect.

I had the one of the first ones in brum bought new from kawasaki city for 3k new. it won the proddie TT in 1985. I only did 150 once. great bike. apparently though the anti-dive is prone to siezing.
Sorry Wills I got it for a song too just to rub the salt in!
Yes I heard about the TT win Blues, And have been scouring the net for potential troubles......as you say the anti dive is a weak point but most owners disconnect it when fitting braided hoses.
Apart from that and keeping an eye on the usual Kawasaki Build quality It doesn't seem a bike prone to major problems (unless you count the starter clutch)
Mine is original save for a stainless system so somebody at least had the forethought to spend money on a known weak spot.
Wills, if I see you at a meet and you would like a go please just ask...at worse you would have to leave your daughter as a security deposit LOL
