Hi all. I'm picking up my new acquisition this Saturday. its an 81 model XS special and I can't wait to gat my hands on it. I have a few other bikes (you can't have too many, I reckon. The other steeds in the garage are '08 XZ10, 1981 KTM250GS, Honda CR480RC ('82 model), '04 KTM450EXC, pit bike & pocket bike. The ZX10 is lots of fun but my girlfriend is a bit tired of hanging on for grim death on the thing when I take her for a "leisurely cruise" on the thing. After finishing the resto on the CR480 I thought the next resto should benefit her as well. hnece the new XS
