FAVOURITE BIKES
For about 12 years this photo has been on my office wall, its the only photo i have of this bike and it has been firmly in my top 10 ever since. A couple of weeks ago someone showed me a photo of his Z1100R on his phone, now its mine !
It was built by A&H Performance Cycles as a rolling advert for their business in the early 90s and as such has the best of everything. 1260 Wiseco, 8 plug big valve head, competition cams, welded crank, 38mm flatslides, Dyna ign......you can see the rest. It has been living in the previous colourblind owners house for the last 8 years, The plug leads and caps have to go and the Astralites need the rims painting black again,otherwise perfection. If anyone knows of A&H (now no longer trading) or can put me in touch with them i would appreciate it.
You can buy it but dont expect it to be cheap.
Wouldn't mind those Astralites off you if you ever break it..
ReplyDeleteI could never break this bike Adam, sorry. Yes i did just say that !
ReplyDeleteWow.. with that much extra gear I'd source another "R" to stick on those sidecovers. 1100RR at least.
ReplyDeletehad both the 1000R & 1100R back in the day good standard but sorted like that one brillant. A good buy Pete and that black Kerker is the perfect pipe for it hard to find them nowdays.
ReplyDeleteA big bore Kerker like this one (but not as tidy) sold for just short of £700 on ebay a couple of weeks ago. The bike allegedly cost over £20,000 to build but there are no receipts !
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHAHA! Excellent....
ReplyDeleteYou have an office ..... geez, whatever next!
ReplyDeleteOffice/dungeon.
ReplyDeleteI knew Mark white well in the mid nineties. He customised my z1100R to a similar spec, I still have her 15 years on. I remember your bike a Boxhill on several occasions. Still looks good.
ReplyDeleteBloody HTC phone, that should be I knew Mark quite well. Mark was the owner of A&H performance motorcycles.
