Kawasaki Other description

 2008 Kawasaki Versys (Versatile System) 650cc "Adventure-Style" motorcycle.

2008 Motorcycle of the Year Award by Motorcyclist Magazine.
2008 Best in Class "Allrounder class" award by Motor Cycle News.

This great middle-weight bike is highly reviewed for its ultra-reliable 650cc liquid-cooled parallel-twin engine, delivering a great mix of power and torque over a broad RPM range.  It's upright seating position, wide handlebars and triple disc brakes makes for a safe, controllable and comfortable ride.  The 41mm inverted front forks, adjustable monoshock and beautiful aluminum swingarm provide perfect suspension for riding city streets, twisty backroads, or great distances on our nation's Interstate highways.

This low mileage bike was purchased new by a capable and knowledgeable motorcyclist.  He owned a garage filled with fine bikes.  All of them were meticulously maintained.  Sadly, I am listing the bike for his widow.

This bike is very clean, starts, idles, runs, shifts and brakes perfectly.  The battery is full-powered and all lights and electrics work fine.  There is a "Battery Tender" wiring harness installed.
The Pirelli tires are presumably original (IDK) and should be fine for a few thousand more miles.

Included is the pictured luggage rack and removable, locking GIVI storage compartment.  The owner's manual and tool kit is under the seat.

Full-payment by Bank Certified Check or Postal Money Order expected within 10 days of auction completion. 
I will hold the bike with a PayPal deposit of $500, the balance to be paid in advance of or upon pick-up.
I WILL NOT hold the bike in lieu of a full-cash payment upon pick-up. 
I can store the bike securely until your arrangements can be made.
Will sell to Canadian or overseas bidders provided all shipping arrangements are made by buyer and don't cause me too much hassle.
Free enclosed trailer delivery available to the Barber Motorsports AHRMA Vintage Festival in Birmingham AL (October 11-13).

Q3 2013 US Motorcycle Sales Results

Fri, 01 Nov 2013

Motorcycle and scooter sales in the U.S. in 2013 remain consistent with last year’s figures, according to data released by the Motorcycle Industry Council. Several manufacturers blamed poor weather for the poor start this year, and the rebounding sales in the third quarter helped to negate the slow sales from earlier in the year.

2014 World Supersport – Phillip Island Results

Mon, 24 Feb 2014

The 2014 World Supersport season opened in dramatic fashion after a red-flagged restart turned the 18-lap race into a five-lap sprint, with MV Agusta making a triumphant return to the top of the podium for the first time since 1976. The Supersport event began with a hard-fought battle between three-time champion Kenan Sofuoglu, Kev Coghlan and Michael van der Mark. Sofuoglu and his Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R held a slim lead over Coghlan’s Yamaha R6 and van der Mark’s Honda CBR600RR when the race was halted after CIA Insurance Honda rider Jack Kennedy suffered an engine problem and leaked oil onto the track.

New: Venhill 888 fast-action twistgrips

Fri, 01 Mar 2013

CONTROL specialist Venhill has launched its new 888 range of bike-specific fast action twistgrips.  Supplied complete with the company's top of the range Featherlight cables, the kits are designed for a straightforward replacement of the factory-fitted equipment.  Bike-specific kits are now available for the Honda CBR600F, Kawasaki ZX-6R/ZX-10R, Suzuki GSX-R600/750, Triumph 675 Daytona and Yamaha R1/R6, among others, with prices from £105. Here's Venhill's description of the new product: "Manufactured with a robust CNC machined alloy body, the 888 fast action twistgrip provides a choice of two settings and is supplied with two rotors so that riders can select the throttle action that best suits the riding conditions.  Settings can be changed swiftly by undoing the two set screws securing the throttle body and changing the rotor. On the fastest setting there is 80° of rotation, (taking up 36mm of the cable), which is typically 45% faster than 'standard' throttles.
