new bike

[mr jack]

got this yesterday its a apparently a very rare kawasaki ar25-a1 1983 and custom painted in pink and green (it will be repainted gold and green)
its needs from the looks minimal work mostly paint and a tune up with little odds and sods

Nice bike..............................but why, oh why, would someone paint it like that

Surely it should look like this

[mr jack]

nice kawi
well it has had some effort put into the bike at one point like the decals are proper custom ones and not just bodged home made ones and properly applied
whats annoying is the gasket for the rotory reed has a leak and it runs either badly or rev'd up at about 6000/8000
im trying to look for details on the bike as the head light fairing is fiberglass the ones i have seen are plastic and the back light is either rare fitted to this bike is the manual for it has the same light or it has been changed from a kz also the whole speedo is plastic the spare is glass just afew details but some look propper tho

That's great. Very 1980's 'esque. I have mates who still have leathers that colour ....they are straight.

i was going to get a set of black and gold leathers like what my dad had when he had is kawi tripple just then change my last name from sheen to sheene

My first real bike was an A reg AR125, literally one of the first in the UK and it was firecracker red

Cost £650 back in the 80's and I was very proud of it then when I passed my test I had my jets lifted and microns fitted. You could hear me on the other side of town especially with the redline at 12,000rpm

Two up tearing down the M6 at 96mph, fantastic bike till some toe rags stole it

Nice bike but what an horrendous colour scheme

Bogger said a 2 smoke was nice ......

Someone must have dropped acid in the past to come up with that colour scheme ....surely.

well the paint was done for one of the owners wifes and it has been painted well (it looks better in life then pictures) and it came with spare bottom end barrels,head, boot basily half a bike
