Hey peeps, begrudgingly I've had to sell my 2012 ZX10 to help fund our wedding. Picked up a '55' Kenny Roberts 50th anniversary special for £4500, only 6000 miles totally stock.
Nice bike but honestly feels massively down on power compared to the ZX10, got plenty of mods planned.
What you think ?

Looks good,Welcome in Paul
I suppose it will feel slightly down on power compared to a 2012 ZX10,but when you start using the top end it will still feel fast mate

Well I've got some Akra's for it, PCV and K&N, just given it a full service, waiting on some proper tyres (pushed the front a bit hard and had a slide) the current tombstone BT021's are 5 years old and covered about 800 miles.
Brembo pads, Goodrich braided lines and new fluid.
That'll all help it feel a bit quicker. Great looking bike though

Very nice bike!! Get some velocity stacks fitted that might help with the power.
