If you can't find a Pan, there's loads of these old Jap duffers kicking about http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kawasaki-...490744?hash=item2edd8cd838:g:UNAAAOSwrhBZL8wA http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KAWASAKI-...419319?hash=item3d4a87ceb7:g:n7EAAOSwQ59ZY41z http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KAWASAKI-...224387?hash=item283fbfc583:g:jugAAOSwFJBZUoPM
Ironically, the only bike I've ever seen damage the frame properly was the ZX-10 of a TT-racing mate who had an argument with a wall and snapped the headstock. don't think that one t-cut out. (He was alright after a ride in the paraffin pigeon). (the funniest thing about that was that he hit the airfence so hard he flipped a photographer who was lying on it into the next field). The tricky bit with ex-top-level racebikes is knowing how much they have been diluted at each owner. it's a running joke on the steelie page how many "genuine ex-toseland" steelies there are out there...
@bikermike thats very true mate, ive got toeslands first cbr steelie and its was stripped of all the tasty parts, im now on the hunt for them to put back to original.
what, all 75 airboxes, 25 engines, and 250000000 unspecified parts...? (like the medieval true cross, there are rather more fragments than would have made up the original...)
I’m having a ZX10-R built for me. It’s time to compete with modern equipment on a par with or hopefully better than my competitors. I’ve managed to come second in the championship despite an old bike that had plenty of problems and a gearbox that gave-up in the final race, so next year will be much more focused and prepared.
That was neither scuffed nor worn. It was completely knackered. I had to finish the race without 4th, 5th or 6th.
Think you got to spend an awful lot on a ducati to race one. I remember my old 748/853 track bike I was forever fixing it and that was only track days.
I was lucky to get a full season out of it. It’s only the slipping clutch at the start of the year that prolonged its life I reckon.
