Apparently it was originally a 750, but Honda beat Kaw to the punch, so they went back and punched the Z out to 900 pre-production.Once long ago took one off the line then saw only tail lights pulling away. First time I ever laid eyes on one too.... Thought it was a Honda 750 in the dark. Lesson learned.
Yes - “ the next time “ is always on my mind every time we have an extreme high tide - and that seems to be happening more often these days . I now have lifts for all my bikes except for the Honda ST 1300 which is too cumbersome for me to put on the lift anyway and it can go in the trailer when needed. I have lived on this island all of my life - 66 years - and have had to leave several times and sit and wonder what might be left when I return . I am growing weary of all this but it’s home .... (sigh)You might think about an 18" pedestal for the bike bench, give it a slightly higher chance of survival "next time" (there will ALWAYS be a next time)
