That's one beautiful A2 Alan. A friend of mine had one identical to that back in the early 80's, including cast wheels. We went out for a spin one day and stopped off for a coffee, when we returned the z1000 was gone. We made some enquiries and witnesses told us that a Luton van had pulled up and some guys lifted her in and drove off brazen as you like in broad daylight. Nobody suspected a thing. Bike was discovered twelve months later in a warehouse half stripped with dozens of other stolen bikes.

Thanks and yeah that must have been gutting - Even more paranoid these days and can't leave a bike anywhere without fear of of it being nicked !!

It’s a beauty, love the colour, it would look nice next to a beach with late afternoon sun glinting off the water…..and some fish and chips resting on the seat
