The first photo was an old Denver’s Chopper frame stuffed with cb650 engine and so yeah I clicked on it. The following images are what really prompted me to gas up and head out to Yucca Valley. Naturally no moto run would be complete if you didn’t drag a friend, I mean how else am I getting this shit home. This wild stock chop was a OG German built AME Kawasaki kz1000. I unfortunately didn’t get much back story but the seller was also German, and if I remember correctly it was his friends old bike.

If you’re not familiar with the AME crew, they were Germany’s go to chopper shop. As you can see its a relatively stock based chop. In case you don’t peek outside your USA bubble, that is because parts of Europe have very strict restrictions when it comes to customizing or building motorcycles. So many of these AME builds retained their stock bones and got slapped with lots of chrome and wild ass paint jobs. Very much like the wholesome mural on this bike.

Like most old Japanese bikes it didn’t take much to get this scoot fired up. As a matter of fact all I did was put some starting fluid and a battery to it. Starter button was a no go but the kicker got it fired up momentarily. In my eagerness I skipped a few steps, which I typically avoid. Like dropping a little oil in the top end just to make sure things are dry grinding. Needless to say as quick as I got it home and fired up, it was off to its new home. A customer came to buy the Denver’s frame and made me an offer on this German Saint. Who knows where it would be today, maybe still sitting with nowhere to go. Nonetheless I’m glad it found a stable with like breeds.
