Kawasaki Other description

I purchased this LTD in 2008 when I was starting to look at low mileage vintage motorcycles as a part of my new hobby.  It all started when I found and purchased the KZ650 I had in High School.  Around that time, I purchased 5 motorcycles, all low mileage, original vintage bikes.  

I have ridden this bike less than 500 miles since I have purchased it.  As with most hobbies, my time was limited and I really didn't get to do much with this bike.  I did buy new side covers and mirrors as the originals had issues.  

The tank is clean and is probably a 7.5-8 out of 10.  There are a few scratches ahead of the seat, and a small dent barely noticeable, but very good for a 33 year old original bike.  The seat is excellent, the exhaust is very good with some bluing and the start of corrosion at the headers, but the muffler section is very good.  I have not removed the exhaust to clean and polish them.  Factory exhaust is important for a vintage bike and these are very good. 

I sent this to a local noted KZ mechanic and he put new Carb Boots, tuned the carbs and added a new battery.  The battery is brand new and I have it on a Battery Tender outside of the bike.

I am also providing 2 owners manuals, a Factory Service manual, a two page advertisement, and the original side covers and mirrors. It would be great for a collection or a daily rider as it is clean and runs well.  

The only issue I am aware of is the Speedometer.  When I rode it last year, a gear noise began and the speedo was jumping.  I removed the cable and have not really ridden since, as at is not licensed.  I do start it and drive around the block occasionally to keep the fuel and lubricants fresh.

AMA Superbike: 2012 Daytona Results

Tue, 20 Mar 2012

Josh Hayes and Blake Young picked things up where they left off by trading wins at the 2012 season-opening AMA Superbike round at Daytona International Speedway. Reigning champion Hayes of Monster Energy Graves Yamaha took the first race handily, leading almost right from the start of the 15-lap race for the win. Yoshimura Suzuki’s Young, who finished second to Hayes in the 2011 AMA Superbike Championship, responded by taking the second race, but only by a slim 0.002-second margin.

Mon, 17 Feb 2014

Despite losing the World Supersport title last year to a hard-charging Sam Lowes, Mahi Racing Team India’s Kenan Sofuoglu, aboard his Kawasaki ZX-6R, hasn’t lost any of the pace that has made him the overwhelming favorite heading into 2014. He topped the timesheets on the first day of testing at Phillip Island, setting a time of 1:33.521, putting him at near lap-record pace. Second on the day was Dutchman Michael van der Mark, aboard the Pata Honda CBR600RR.
