    I started collecting the bikes that I always dreamed about when I was young. These are the only bikes that I ever wanted. I have one more on the list and I'm done.

    The 81 Gpz550s are stock. Most of them have been sitting a long time. Mileage on them are 7k, 10k, and 18k. All are complete with no rust in the tanks. 1 runs great, 1 runs on 2 cylinders, and 1 does not run. All the 2 need are carb rebuilds and they will run as new.

    The 78 Z1-R has 12750 miles and is stock except for the wires, pipe, and jet kit. It has the tool kit and owners manual, and the stock exhaust. She is a wisconsin bike that was always loved. The bike has no oxidation anywhere.

    The GSXR's are stock. The 86 is a 1254 mile original. Still on the stock tires. I purchased it not running. I drained the gas, added some fresh 93 and Seafoam. She took awhile to start and clear out, but after she did, she runs like new. I have no intentions of riding it because it may be the lowest mile all original 86 GSXR1100 anywhere.

    The guy that owned the 86 also owned the 87 that I have. This one I'll ride. It has 17k miles and is stock except for the pipe and jet kit.

    I've got some other pics if anyone would like to see them.

    What's the one you have left to get? I'm thinking a Kawasaki ELR and a GS1000S Cooley rep would round out the collection nicely. Perhaps a CBX?


    Didn't someone ask awhile back where all the GPz's are? I think we found 'em.

    Thanks, steve!

    Secas are on the right. Two on the far right will be for sale here soon.

    This might sound like cheating, but you can ride that low mile bike by just swapping in another speedo.

    OK I heard a gun click !

    Beauty of as collection. I saw a handful of GT80's at Mid Ohio Vintage Days last weekend. 2 or 3 of them in various conditions. You are refering to the Yamaha 80cc off-road bike built late 70's early 80's right? If so it was my first bike and I feel the sentimental value when I see one too.

    I like the green ZRX on the left, very reminiscent of the GPZ's, nice bikes.
    Was talking to a dude at work about the CBX and seen an engine for sale on CL. Imagine scraping engine on max lean angle with that inline 6. 8O

    Thank you very much MGM, Dave!

    I'll post a few of the ZRX. I've got it done up like a modern Eddie Lawson Replica.
