That's a 400cc?...sometimes I forget what the rest of the world gets that we here in the states don't...or vise versa. What year is that? She's a clean looking bike!
Do they require you to wear helmits there? Around here each state has different rules, though some may be the same as others...here in Illinois we have to wear eye protection{geez, I guess that's a good idea} and 24hr headlights. But, if you head an hour over to Indiana they require helmits as well as Michigan...before a long trip a rider really needs to know what states require what to stay out of trouble. While I started out with not wearing a helmit, I do now advise folks to wear one and besides, the Bombardier Revolution modular helmit is pretty darn cool with it's drop down sun shade - no need to cary around sunglasses...great for those late days where the sun is setting and your heading into it!

Awesome restoration. That was my dream bike back in 87-88 timeframe when I lived in Berlin. I wanted the black and red model. I had an 1100 Katana that I loved, but right about that time saw the death of the twin shock sport bike.

Richard, I was looking at the 600 version of that and found a ZZR-1100 (ZX11) for about the same price so I looked up the insurance, I nearly feel off my seat with the quote it was something like £1050! Maybe when I build up some no clams bonuses I will have a look at 1 again
