 You know Roost I would be afraid to ride those bikes after all the hard work you have put in their restoration.
    Do you collect them or restore and sell them?  The bikes look great..

Very cool bikes. I love the vintage bikes. I am rebuilding a '74 CR125 my self. But back to the Kawies, that k5 is very nice. The '80 produced some cool looking bikes.

All your bikes look great!  I really like the RM125.  I had a bunch of old Rm's.  Keep up the good work.
