Kawasaki Other description

I've got a KZ750R1 GPZ Cafe Racer project, the bike is a 1982 with 20k miles. I got it this year from the person who started the project, the bike was running fine. 

Over the summer I put maybe 150 miles on the bike, fixed a few things (new chain, new starter). Unfortunately the motor needs to be replaced or rebuilt now (the bike does not run) and I just don't have the time and am not a motorcycle mechanic (I am relocating to TX). 

A few other details:

  • custom kerker exhaust
  • integrated directionals in the rear lights
  • cafe handle bars
  • new starter motor 
  • new chain
  • recently changed oil
  • cover, lock and helmet included

It's a sharp looking bike with a lot of potential.

Let me reiterate that the motor needs to be replaced. After spending several hours my mechanic identified that the motor was "basically shot and needed to be either replaced with a new Motor or rebuilt (with some pieces being re-machined)".

Mobile tea-urn

Fri, 28 Oct 2011

This steam powered motorcycle (not a bicycle, 'cos it don't have no pedals), could be perfect for you if you like a brew at short notice on your Sunday ride. Built in 1894, it's about to be auctioned and is expected to reach a world record price (for a kettle). It uses a coal furnace to super-heat water into steam which is fed into a small engine.

WSBK 2013: Monza Race Report

Mon, 13 May 2013

Eugene Laverty and Marco Melandri split a pair of victories at Monza but the most biggest news from the World Superbike weekend was a strange series of appeals after Race Two that saw Tom Sykes finish third, relegated to fourth and then reinstated on the final step of the podium. The unusual mix-up occurred after Sykes, sitting in third place, ran off track and into the run off area on Turn 5 on his final lap. The Kawasaki rider returned to the track again in third place where he finished ahead of Aprilia‘s Sylvain Guintoli.
