My first bike was a '76 750KZ with air-cooled vertical twin engine. I loved that bike. $900 new, out the door. But that was a long time ago. I liked that I could see the cylinders and the cooling fins. Now they seem to be ashamed of the engine and paint it dull black so you won't see it or look at it. That KZ750 handled great and carried us two-up at over 70mph with ease. We rode the twisties in the Texas Hill Country and many moonlit night rides. Good memories. Great first bike. It was red, too, Peter. A lovely bike.
There's a difference in riding a naked bike and riding a bike naked.
Won't make that mistake again.
