Kawasaki KX 125 1996 GP 1998 Tortelli JdG Replica

Hi! Bought my `96 Kawasaki in June 1998 as old stock. I raced it for many years and of course, it ended up beeing pretty in the corner of the garage. Some times I rode it in the yard and even made a burnout at the city hall at my friends wedding.

The Kawi Always screamed sharp, nice and loud.

Last year I was wondering If the old Kawi could shine and scream again top fit.

Soo... it took some time, but it was really fun to do!
