Common Questions!

Are you the first owner of it?

I built this bike! from a Canadian frame I purchased and a gpz1100b1 motor I brought over 13 yrs ago from the uk, motor was built 20 years ago while I worked at Z1 CITY in Kent, UK,

Why are you selling it?

Quite simply I have too! my wife fell ill and has just been diagnosed with chronic heart disease on top of her diabetes, Lyme disease, hyperthyroid and is unable to work, and money has been tight ever since! this is the last high value item I own and was always going to be the last thing I sold, that time has now come unfortunately.

Does it has any fault affecting it?

Like all 30 year old bikes every now and again something happens as of right now everything seems fine and once warmed up pulls like a freight train, tank has several nicks and chips and scratches and I never got round to painting it, just touched up where needed. it is not a show bike but mechanically sound and handles like a sports bike while still keeping the old school looks.

2014 AMA Supercross – St. Louis Results

Mon, 31 Mar 2014

Don’t look now, but James Stewart is the hottest rider in the AMA Supercross Championship. The Yoshimura Suzuki rider won his third consecutive race and series-leading fifth victory of the season. But with Kawasaki‘s Ryan Villopoto holding a comfortable lead with four rounds remaining, Stewart’s hot streak may be too little too late.
