1976 vs 2008

I always thought the back tire on my 1976 "basket case" KZ900 was big. The look from my driveway is pretty funny.

(had the carbs rebuilt a few months ago)

36 years of technology sure makes a impact.

Yea, the advent of radial tires really revolutionized street bike handling. Even the cheapest tires of today are better than what they had back then...
