"A REAL CLASSIC JAPANESE ICON"

Kawasaki H2 750cc

About to come off the production line is a fine example of probably the most famous and classic Japanese two strokes ever produced. This original Model H2 burst onto the scene in 1972 and has remained an iconic example of power and beauty. Released around the time the British finally relingished control over the motorcycle industry world wide, it was to be the start of many great designs that emerged from Japan.

The Mighty Kawasaki Z1 900cc


We all remember these classsic models - Kawasaki 900cc
Hot off the restoration line is another ICONIC Japanese Classic Kawasaki - The big 900cc Z1 the first true Superbike. How about owning one of these beauties!! Contact me for details on up an coming projects.

Restoration Projects Under way



New Generation Classic Restorations

After a year of getting my self organized and prepared, the first of what I hope will be many older classic Japanese iconic models has taken its first breath. After sitting idle for many years this classic 1972 H1-B 500cc Kawasaki has re-emerged from my workshop having been completly rebuilt from the cranshaft up. The beautiful Orange paintwork clearly defines its lineage. It's bigger brother the 750 H2 will be next to arrive, having had the same treatment complete and looking like a million dollars. Hard to imagine that these bikes had a retail price of about $1700 back in the 70's.

If you are keen and have a old classic but lack the time or expertise to complete the project then call me. "I bring them back to life."

CROZ - THE LARRIKIN KIWI BIKE An autobiography.

I lifted up my UV cracked visor with my thumb. 'Which way does the track go and what's the lap record?' I called out over the noise of the valve gear rattling and clanging between my legs. The flag marshal's eyebrows raised in disbelief. I could see him muttering, 'And who the hell do you think you are - Mike Hailwood?' I laughed and roared off down the track.

Become his pillion passenger as he takes you on a fast and furious journey from the grassroots of New Zealand motorcycle racing through Australia, Japan, the UK and Europe.

Experience with him the crashes, the pain, the elation of winning and the international controversies. While the politics, boycotts and tragic fatalities make enthralling reading, the common thread is his determination to enjoy life and have fun. And win a few world championships.

Croz's first book is due out in November.
