Rickman Kawa
In the 70s I sooo wanted a Rickman,sadly out of my financial reach.
I still like the looks.

Re: Rickman Kawa
I have to say I find the looks challenging, but it's got to handle better than the Kawasaki frame.

Guy in my office bought an ex race one on Ebay a few years back & road registered it. Nice time warp piece.

It's the shape of the bodywork I don't like, the used look is fine with me.Skub wrote: ↑Thu Apr 07, 2022 3:31 pmYeah,there's a rough aspect to that one,but it looks like a real bike that's used.Le_Fromage_Grande wrote: ↑Thu Apr 07, 2022 2:28 pm I have to say I find the looks challenging, but it's got to handle better than the Kawasaki frame.

I remember an S&S tuned Rickman Z1 in MCN,it clocked 160mph in the 70s.
