    Hello All, just bought my first ever British Bike, a 1999 Speed Triple.
    Currently own a 1978 Kawasaki Z1000 and a 1972 Kawasaki H1D, and if you haven't guessed my age from the bikes I own, my days started in 1976 when at 17 years old I bought a Kawasaki KH250. I am very blinkered I'm afraid and only really like Kwaks.
    The Speed Triple came along at the right price (£600) and it IS a lovely looking bike....but......it don't start and bought as a non runner but would love to keep and ride this beauty.

    I will be asking much help from those on the forum in the know and I will try not to be a tiresome old.......um....devil.

    Cheers
    Nigel

    Ps. Please don't get upset if I'm slow to reply, I'm active on two Kawasaki Owners Clubs.

    Good buy for the money.

    You don't want a Z13000 do you? as I know a bloke who has 8 of them although the reason why really still escapes me :eek:
