I rode one of those KZ1000s... FAST! It wasn't mine, but my friend I shared a house with in Flagstaff had one. The neighbor I became friends with had a Suzuki GS1100(?), or were they bigger than that? It was around 80/81 when I was there. That thing had serious power. We all rode together, me on my '52 Harley FL, a few times. I enjoyed riding alone better

Have the Harleys, wish I still had the Kaw...
Preference is riding alone.
Road it out to Teaton Park in 1980. West of Riverton Wy. I backed off after hitting 145...oh the young n silly!

I had an '82 GS 1100E. It had a Supertrapp pipe, Dynojet kit, K&N's, Koni's, etc. It would get down and boogie. Rode it to Sturgis, Colo, Ark, and all over town. Sold it when I had kids.

I remember riding a guys 1982 or 83 Suzuki GSX1100 back in the day. It was scary fast for the times. Sat on a 1990 Kawasaki ZX-11 when I was 21 and a buddy was pressing me to buy it. I told him I'd better not as the top speed was too enticing.

I did end up with one of the Kawasaki Ninja series bikes after I graduated college in 1992.

I had the same bike back in 83-84; very cool and fast!

Owned one street bike - Honda Hawk 400. All looks & aint worth a (&*^(^....

The ranch had a Suzuki Enduro, I think a TS185. Fun bike & about my speed too, I'm the last to sit on big bike, too intimidating.
