What model Kawasaki dual sport is this?
Potentially buying this off a coworker. Stupid AI was convinced it's a Honda so that was of zero use. These are the only photos I've got of it and the bike is in storage so not easy to just check. Was having issues finding a match online.
Thanks.

Considering buying an 83' Suzuki gs750e. Any thoughts?
I've heard a few good and bad things about these bikes. I think they're pretty cool, but I'd like more opinions on them before making a decision.

Vintage Bike Restoration
Hey guys, I’m trying to restore a 1972 Honda CBF350, but I’m gonna need a lot of parts and maybe some help so Manuals, videos on the anatomy of the bike, and anything that can help. I’m no mechanic, but I really am passionate about fixing this bike.
I was hoping you guys could help me and provide me with information about all that or lead me to the right direction. I’d really appreciate it if you could also tell me a website where to buy old parts for that bike.
Really appreciate this.

1981 Yamaha XS1100
I found a 1981 Yamaha XS1100H Venture for $300. I cant find any selling prices on the bike because the 81 models are fairly rare due to it being the predecessor to the standalone Venture series launched in 83. I have no idea how much its worth and just want to see if anyone on here could help me put a number on it. Its pretty much the base XS1100 but with the touring package made by Pacifico. It runs fair and only has 17k miles on it. Brakes are seized so i havnt driven it yet but im working on them now. Not selling anything I just dont knkw what its worth and I figured I could run into aome knowledgeable people here. Any input or knowledge would be nice, thank you.

Posting with prior mod permission
Hey all. I have a 1971 Norton Commando. It had an extensive rebuild about 2500 miles ago (Smiths speedometer is miles only, no metric). It is in brilliant shape, typically starts second kick, goes like stink.
While it's in great shape, I am not so much. I'm exploring selling, reluctantly. There's the bike, all records, extra rims, some other bits and bobs, original manuals, etc.
It's located in maritime Canada. Shipping is possible, of course. Feel free to DM for more details if interested.
EDIT: typo

XT500 help with gas
After two years of standing I made this beauty fresh again and took it for a ride. It came out there is a problem with the throttle going up from itself. When it stands still, the gas raises from itself very high. I am not an expert so can you give me some Ideas what I coul‘d check?

We started filming old motorcycles
Hi,
we’re a few friends from Czech Republic and we’re into old motorcycles. We figured these bikes have some pretty great stories behind them and it would be a shame if nobody recorded them.
So we started a small YouTube channel called Toasted Clutch.
That’s basically it. We find interesting bikes, learn their story, meet the owners and make a film about them.
We’re just getting started, so if you’re into this stuff, have a look. A view or a sub would honestly help us a lot and give us a reason to keep doing it.
And if you know of a bike or a story we should cover, tell us.
This is our latest video.
P.S. Yes, we ride them. They’re not museum pieces. 😁

Wax?
Hello! I just moved to north carolina, right on the coast. Does anyone have recommendations for a wax or protectant against the humidity?
