Kawasaki Other description

This bike was found in a Mi. warehouse where it sat unused since 1980.  To find a Z1 this original and untouched is rare. This is the only green 1974 I've ever seen.  It was missing the seat, horn, coils and left side exhaust when I found it.  I bought a reproduction seat and coils for it and found a 1976 KZ 900 exhaust. that is in good condition, some small rust spots and a few dings.   It still needs the horn.  The right side exhaust is original and in perfect condition.  I filled the carbs with gas and the bike started right up.  It sounds very tight, no cam chain noise and no smoking.  It should be given a carb cleaning and a complete tune up.  All the chrome is very nice, but not perfect.  The paint has no fading, 4 small chips in the gas tank.  Some chips on the tailfin under the chrome grab bar.  Left side cover has a scratch.  Bike has all the original cables, even the original wire ties on the handle bars.  The clutch and brake levers still have the clear plastic coating.  The paint on the frame is very shiney, it looks great.  The speedometer has some small dings on the left side. The master cylinder has no fluid but is very clean inside.  This is an amazing condition survivor bike.  With a professional detailing, this bike should be more valuable than a restored Z1.  Sold as is..no waranty.  Bike will not leave my possession until funds have cleared. $250 paypal deposit required within 48 hous of auctionn end.  Balance due within 7 days,  wire transfer or cash.

Wesll Quad Prototype

Mon, 09 Feb 2009

A number of manufacturers have tinkered with various three-wheeled motorcycle applications over the years. Companies like Piaggio, Can-Am, Brudeli and even Harley-Davidson have produced unique trikes with ranging levels of success. The Wesll Corporation is attempting to do one better, literally, as it develops a four-wheeled mechanism that could be applied to many different kinds of bikes.

Five minutes with Stuart Easton

Fri, 10 Aug 2012

Stuart Easton has been the sole hope for Scotland in BSB since his friend and mentor Steve Hislop left us nearly ten years ago. Rat boy, as he’s known to friends, shone in the 125 and Supersport class and until his horrendous crash at the North West 200 last year was a serious contender for the 2011 BSB title. Many (including himself) thought his career may have been over but he astounded everyone by climbing back on the podium just a few rounds into the 2012 season.

WSBK 2013: Assen Race Report

Mon, 29 Apr 2013

Tom Sykes earned his first win of the 2013 season and came a hair short of a double victory at the World Superbike Championship round at Assen in the Netherlands. Traditionally a fast starter and qualifier, Sykes started on the pole once again at Assen and had strong starts in both races. But unlike the first two rounds where he started strong before fading, the Kawasaki factory rider was able to remain at the front in both races at Assen and earn some valuable championship points.
