    This Bonnie belonged to one of my best mates, Dave Robbo, for years, and it sat in the corner of his workshop in a part-disassembled condition. He’d bought it in 1984 when it was just two years old, and’d used it to go all over the country to rallies, as well as being a daily…

    Official documents filed in the USA suggest that there’re three new motorcycles from the Japanese factory on the way. Things have been quiet from Kawasaki of late; we’ve only really had the updated Versys 650 and H2 SX SE to get excited about, since the latest generation ZX-10R was revealed at the end of 2020.…
