Custom Cafe Racer KAWASAKI KZ 750E
18 months of dedicated and patient hard work will give you results like this. This was an original 1981 Kawasaki KZ 750E model which has been beautifully crafted out to look this stunning. Well the owner, Mr. Frederick Desannaux was helped by his brother, Mr. Cyril (I had earlier written Cyric and Fred had me corrected. Sorry for the mistake Fred.) who owns the Fax Moto company which specializes in Cafe racer modification. Once you are on the second index page, click on the Un Cafe Racer link or click here to see this beautiful model.
