Bike of the month - April 2007

This is oldcoldankles's 1983 KZ 550 M1. This bike had been in storage for 8 years until it was rescued by the original owner from an advancing forest fire in 2003. Except for a K&N drop in air filter, windshield, and inline fuel filter, it's all original right down to the vacuum petcock, keys, grips, toolkit and Luminous Midnight Red paint! It now has 21,000 miles on it. It's economical, very reliable, and just plain fun to ride! You can see a better picture and some member comments in the gallery.
