Lol thanks! Well the copper type colored part has a slight color changing effect. Nothing too crazy and no purple hue to it like most have. Most people have to look twice to really notice.

I did the paint myself, I actually mix automotive and custom car/bike paint for one of my jobs so the discount at work helps  :P

Wow.

Lovely colour on that K

Those rotarys were sold here as DKW ("Das Kleine Wunder"). I think they sold about 3 of them in the UK... ;D

Thanks, the K100rs is a great long distance bike, but a bit of vibration...

I am familiar with the DKW version of the Herc W2000. The major W2000 part supplier in the US, Rotary Recycle, used to have a NOS DKW tank in his stock, may still have it...
The W2000 actually runs well and is fairly quick for a 300cc bike.

If it didnt have the carb exposed at the top one would almost think you strapped one big ass electric motor to that thing.

Dont have too many at the moment.





1150cc V twin. Handles really well, allmost like throwing a 250 around. Dino'd 140bhp at the back wheel. Having a custom steering damper made and also a piggy back ECU so that all 8 injectors can me dialed in, just one thing I will be able to do.


Very nice  8) 8) 8)

I'm hankering after one of them myself, only trouble is if I bought one I'd only have to sell it again to finance the resulting divorce ::)

2001 YZ-125 with alot of goodies



Sold her a few weeks ago and have regretted it every second since. I will look for another come next riding season. I may go with a 4 stroke next time, but I LOVE the sound of 2 stroke with a nice pipe.

You can drool for free, but the clean up is very expensive.  ;D

Thanks for the Ummm.... Compliment!

The KZ series the early '80's have become very rare in certain models.
Anyone got a 305 GPz? I'll buy it from ya...

We just sold one with 150miles on it.... Along with a CRATED Z1!!! Owner said make me an offer. I thought he'd never sell them. Must have given a mint for them because they both left on a trailer this afternoon.
