All about a bike...

Hello & welcome to the bigfastbikes blog!

This blog is going to be entirely about motorbikes. In fact, mostly about one bike - the bike that I am building....very slowly building. Even with many years experience of spanners and the internals of bikes, deciding to build a one-off custom bike is still quite daunting. There isn't much specific advice out there on how to do things, so this blog will aim to document my trials, tribulations and hopfully successes, plus a lot of photos as we go along.

The basis of the project is a 1982 GPz 750 A2 engine. Actually, that's not the very start of the project. The whole thing started off with the eBay purchase of a Z750 rolling chassis for £85.

Then I bought the GPz engine at the Bristol Classis bike show in Shepton Mallett a couple of years ago and the course of the project started to change! In fact you can see two engines in the top photo - a very old Z750 and a nicer GPz750. I sold the old engine on ebay so someone who does some racing and wanted to move up a class with a bigger motor.

Happy reading,
Mark
