Kawasaki Other description

Classic Kawasaki S3 400cc two stroke triple cylinder motorcycle in excellent running and cosmetic condition. The motorcycles of the 1970's were the most innovative in style, mechanical design and power sources. Kawasaki's legendary two stroke street bikes are notorious for it's amazing speed, power delivery and that unmistakable sound. This Kawasaki S3 is all original (even the burgundy metalflake paint and tires!) and has been sitting dormant in my garage for the last fifteen years! It has 9313 actual miles and has never been wrecked or damaged! I installed a new battery, plugs and rebuilt the carbs and, (after I remembered the kill switch) it started on the first kick! It now starts and runs flawlessly (no leaks) and is very fast with everything working (except the horn). The gas cap still functions but has broken in two parts. Notice the inside of the gas tank has been coated with Por 15 gas tank sealant. Also back in the day, I had installed new points (a feature which is more sought after than the later electronic ignition). The tank's original metalflake paint and graphics are bright and glossy but has many minor chips and scratches but nothing too distracting. The seat, exhaust pipes, grips, foot pegs, tail light, turn signal lens, switches, tachometer and speedometer are all undamaged but the plastic right side cover is cracked and faded. Overall, this bike is in unusually clean and sharp condition. Don't miss this opportunity to own a true classic, rarely found totally original and running condition and functioning like new with that unique two stroke acceleration! Clear title in my name.

Results From Day 2 Of World Superbike Testing At Phillip Island

Tue, 18 Feb 2014

World Superbike testing at Phillip Island came to a close today, and when the dust settled, reigning champion Tom Sykes stamped his authority, setting the fastest time of the test at 1:30.239, just five thousandths shy of the outright lap record held by Carlos Checa. The time was set during the morning session of testing, though nobody was able to best Sykes for the remainder of the day. Eugene Laverty, who was fastest on day one, showed his pace was no fluke as he stayed near the top of the time sheets, ultimately finishing second behind Sykes, with a best time of 1:30.513.

Ryan Villopoto captured his fifth-consecutive AMA Supercross win and sixth in seven rounds with a victory in the main event at Reliant Stadium in Houston, Texas. The Monster Energy Kawasaki rider passed holeshot-taker Mike Alessi on the opening lap and led the rest of the way for the win. Alessi, riding the Motoconcepts Racing Suzuki RM-Z450, remained in the hunt for the first few laps but soon gave way to a group including Team Honda Muscle Milk’s Trey Canard, Red Bull KTM‘s Ryan Dungey and Yoshimura Suzuki’s James Stewart.
