This is my 1978 Kawasaki 1000 LTD street bike. I bought this bike in 1979 with less than 1k on the odometer and it still looks like the day that I bought it. Like my Corvette, this bike is never ridden in rain or cold weather. It also goes into storage in mid November. The bike currently has over 26k miles on it. It's an extremely fast and reliable bike, has never had any major repairs, just tires and tune ups. It runs in the low 12's at better than 109 mph the 1/4 mile.
Above is my VENTO Phantom F4i motor scooter. It's a quiet little 125cc fun machine that is a blast to ride. With a fully automatic transmission, you just twist the throttle and go. The top speed is fifty and it averages better than 90 mpg. A Chinese design, the scooter is built at the VENTO company's USA plant in Texas.
This is my Honda Helix motor scooter. It's 250cc water cooled motor it will let it cruise all day long at a top speed of 70 mph and still get 70 mpg of gas. Honda came out with this design in 1985 and it became so popular that Honda has not changed the style to this day. This scooter has a huge cult following in many countries where scooters are much more popular than in the USA.
