This is one of mine

Not an S1 , but pretty close !

I know the S1 has the rep for being the fastest , but I don't think there's a whole lot in it .

And the S1C is prettier !!!

Wasn't this known as "the White Ghost"? ...remembered for giving some L.C. owners a hard time!

I remember having a spin on one, the distinctive triple sound, 2 stroke fumes & lovely white pearl paint.

Think Kawasaki should do a new zx6r in a retro paint scheme, it would be better than the 2008 scheme!!!

i've ridden a show winning h2 and can only say that i also lusted after a tr7 and have owned two and they are also shite . when you consider that a few years after the tr7 the golf (or in my case scirroco came out) gti arrived , the difference between them was the tr7 would come out arse first going about 30mph slower around most corners , the golf still feels modern today . same is true of any of the kwak tripples and an lc (well maybe not , but you get the point ) , please don't bother with vids of drag strip kwaks , any large capacity two stoke can be quick in a straight line if your keen enough or have a large enough wallet to pay for post run rebuilds . but in standard trim a well sorted kh750 or h2 will struggle to out perform a gt750 (kwak) and we don't think of them as fast or exciting do we .
