Decided last month that I didnt want to have a bike this year so I could spend more time and money doing the house up so I sold my Mille... but I spotted this on Ebay and decided to have it as it was cheap.
Its a 96 N and was in a sorry state when I got it, had been down the road and dropped in a petrol station.
Bought a new tank for it on ebay and repaired and painted the fairings to match. Done a lot of other stuff aswell, like replacing all the bolts, indicators etc.
All done now apart from my new plate hasn't arrived yet..
Pics from ebay add:



How it looks now:

Lol, back end was in good condition. The new colours are actually a factory paint scheme so i wasn't too fussed about doing the whole thing. All its missing is a Kawasaki sticker at the bottom of the side fairings..

This ones old skool but they made them in exactly the same shape as this till 2003..
It doesnt actually feel that heavy for a 750 to be honest.
Not seen this months fast bike, bought Superbike yesterday because I couldnt find fast bike. Are these in it or something?
