1978 Kawasaki KZ200 (1978)
This classic 1978 Kawasaki KZ200 is truly one-of-a kind. The bike started out as an ultra-low mileage stock KZ200 before undergoing subtle customization that turned this into a dependable, classic, head-turning motorcycle. The original light blue finish was stripped from the super clean fuel tank and side covers. A beautiful deep, rich blue color was then applied followed by a clear coat by Marcus Mooney at Mooney Autobody eXperts. The painted pieces were hand sanded and polished to a mirror-like finish. The finish is outstanding and in the sunlight looks stunning. Following the color application, the pieces were taken to the 2015 AutoRama lifetime achievement award winner, Tom VanNortwick. Tom’s work has been featured in magazines such as Hot Rod, Street Rodder, Popular Hotroding and many more. (See Tom’s work at welloiledmachines.com) Tom mixed some custom colors and spent a few hours laying down the amazing stripes by hand on the tank and an elegant stripe on each of the side covers. A beautiful work of art by one of the all-time greats in the industry. Originally, this bike was purchased from “Mike’s Cycles” in 1978, so special care was taken to retain the dealer emblem on the stock gas cap, to pay a bit of homage to the originality and history of the bike. The stock taillight bracket was sectioned, flattened and smoothed out to accept a reproduction stainless steel 1930 Ford Model “A” tail light, complete with a glass lens and blue dot. The stock turn signals were removed and custom chromed bullet turn signal indicators were added to both the front and rear to give the bike a streamlined, classic feel. Mechanically, it’s practically a new motorcycle. With only 4738 miles, it’s barely broken in. The motorcycle has new tires, brakes and battery, just to be safe. It also has had a new spark plug installed and an oil change, to keep everything fresh. Starts right up and runs like a watch. As you would expect, everything functions as it should, from the disc brakes, to the electric start, to all the lights…even the horn, it is 100% ready for the road. In the end, we transformed a cookie cutter, run of the mill, 1970’s era KZ200 in to a tasteful, beautiful and timeless classic. Here is your opportunity to not be just another face in the crowd, while having a dependable, easy to ride, economical motorcycle. This bike is the perfect commuter motorcycle, a great bike for the beginning or smaller rider, or simply a fun toy to have that is not like everyone else’s.2016-07-14 04:54:39Sand Lake, Michigan, United States412795

2025 Ducati XDiavel V4 Review – First Ride
Tue, 20 May 2025Ducati's effort at a cruiser is a confused use of an otherwise enjoyable platform I am flummoxed by this motorcycle. So much so, that it has forced the first complete rewrite of my career. I had submitted a 2,500-word review of the new Ducati XDiavel V4 – full of brilliant observations and clever asides – in time to meet a May 12 deadline.

2025 Ducati Streetfighter V2 S Review – First Ride
Wed, 09 Apr 2025When siblings grow apart There’s been a lot of contempt toward Ducati downsizing its V2 from the 955cc Superquadro to the 890cc V2 mill. Toss out the desmo valves, add some springs and back the whole thing up with a double-sided swingarm, and voila, a recipe even the most discerning internet troll will be helpless from sinking its teeth into. Sure, we’ve done our fair share of proliferating the old adage of “there’s no replacement for displacement,” but we also understand there are more facets at play than just mo’ cc are mo’ better.

Separating the two models makes sense, but building an all around easier, lighter, more nimble motorcycle that a rider can exploit is the true win here. Read the full story here.

Fri, 07 Feb 2025Easy like a Spanish morning Photos by Ducati and Alex Photos. It would appear size isn’t everything, and perhaps, there is a replacement for displacement. Ducati downsizing its middleweight Multistrada has us questioning everything we thought we knew in addition to the very phrases we’re all guilty of overusing here on these digital pages.
