Hello from sunny Ossett in West Yorkshire

For my next bike I've decided to go back to my roots.
In the early/mid 80's I owned a few big Kawasaki fours and this is the way I'm going to go now.
After owning several two strokes including some triples I made the move to the big leagues with a Z1000j1.I loved the J but as I was working at Huddersfield Kawasaki at the time I was open to all sorts of temptations and traded the J for an 11R which I did not like so much.I chopped the 11R in for a 750Turbo which after developing some electrical problems was chopped in for a 1000R. I parted company with the 1000R after a hi speed shunt but then returned to biking several years later with an 1100 Zephyr. This made way for a bandit 6 and I now own a Mk1 bandit 12. As much as the Suzuki is an efficient tool it's not really setting me on fire so I'm going to take a step back in time.
So,here I am.
I'm not quite sure what I'd like yet but the models i'm looking at are 1000j1,1000st or maybe a 1000mk2.
