ZRX1100R/1200R the last genuine classic "GPZ"
Read more →I added a "new" model to my portfolio - the 1100/1200R Rex. Even if this model is far younger than the models I usualy take care off it is allready a genuine classic and the prices are raising strongly since 3 years for R models and real good samples are allready hard to find - even if there are allways plenty of Rexes on sale.

The Z750 Turbo and the future of Chiemgau-Classics
Read more →I decided to stick with the Z750 Turbo model only in future instead frittering in to much different models. So some of the other Kawa classics I'm offering today are the last ones for me. I'm planing to retire from bikerestos for sale in aproxm. 2 years and will use this time to build my last few nice Turbos regardless how much this builds will take in time & money.
