[lightitup]

hey to my name is joe i go by lightitup im in the middle of putting my kz550 back together then i want to start vlogging i live in north fl and have tons of time to ride.
but i have been looking on youtube trying to find some vlog rides on older bikes and cant find any. most the vloggers run cbr's, gxsr's, ninjas that kinda stuff and its cool and all but i dont like sport bikes to much so if any one is vlogging on a bike from back in the day let me know thanks

I ride a GSXR750 from 1987. It's 26 year old now what makes it a classic

Check it out: https://www.youtube.com/87slabside

 

[lightitup]

nice so see another old bike running but its still a gsxr :lol: its just a different front end set up that i really want i like to see when watching moto vlog are many different bike model test rides

 

[GetJarfNasty]

God, I wish I still had this.

 

[lightitup]

haha thats clean man. super sweet im going to make mine a street fighter by doing a front and rear end swap but i need to get it purring and running before all that happens so i have some time save up the funds to get everything i need. then tar into that crazy mod.

If I got anything to say about it I'll end up on a kz1000 down the line. I love those old kwaka's! (But, since I can't get on a bike till my kids remember me I'll probably end up with a recent bike, those old kwaka's are getting rare)

 

[lightitup]

kz1000 are nice ive seen some crazy builds on kzrider.com but till you can ride you can always find a kz1000 and start building hahaha :lol: so you can take ur time with it

 

[MrFalloffalot]

NOTHING wrong with an older bike!!!!!

Letme know when u need help. I got a 85 GPz600r, 76 z650, 83 z750, 76 Sr500, 76 GT250x7 etc etc etc.
Over here Full rego is just over $700, Classic rego $120 p/yr (90days). So x4 bikes= enough riding days per year, and still cheaper than x1!!!!

Can pretend to be Jay Leno, have to choose what to ride lol.
