One or two from the The Scottish Motorcycle Show on the weekend of the 10th March.

All with the K7 and the Samyang 85mm or the Pentax 'fishy', you will know which are which.

Only a couple more of the older stuff, Don, although the Kawasaki 750 triple 2-strokes aren't getting any younger, but they did make your arms longer trying to hold on !!!!

A good set of detailed images of some wonderful machines. The BI quartet don't look too bad either.

The Kawasaki's were horendous machines to ride. Royal Enfield image takes top image for me.

Best regards

Ha, You are right, I remember reading a report about the Kawa 500 2-stroke that suggested that there was so much power that the frame woud flex under acceleration, and even bend in the corners. Of course that made us all want one !!!

I would love to take that original 750 out along the M9 from Edinburgh, I could probably make Perth before the cops caught me, it would be worth the points

p.s. and the smell of Castrol R would bring back a lot of memories

Really? I don't ever remember pushing a girl for five miles in the rain, the last one on my knees.

like this one, my first bike: link

That 85 really is good

Nice shots and nice bikes! The blue Kwaka.is my favourite, if you could get rid of that MCN sign it would be even better. I have rented Enfields in India a few times, they are still making them. They don't handle or stop very well but the engine sound makes up for it
