Kawasaki Ninja description

*Relisted due to non payment.  If you have less than 10 clear items in your eBay history you must contact me before bidding or I will cancel your bid*

1996 Kawasaki GPz 1100/ ZX1100 E2, second owner, only 12,400+ miles (will go up slightly, as I still ride this bike occasionally around town).  Approx 700 miles on new chain, sprockets, and Dunlop Roadsmart II tires.  TONS of extras and custom features (both on and off the bike).  Adult owned, meticulously maintained.  Fresh from an $850 servicing at the local Kawasaki dealership.  New bike on the way, so this faithful steed needs to go away.  Buy it now price is below book value, and still includes more than $3500 in extras and custom work.

Bike comes with a very interesting history; details can be provided if interested - too long for here.  I am the second owner - original owner was a collector who put less than 2500 miles on the bike in more than 14 years.  The mid 90's GPz1100s were only available for 2 years in the US, but since it's based on the mighty Ninja ZX-11, parts are readily available.  Arguably the first of the super sport touring motorcycles.

All day comfortable, this bike pulls like a freight train from as low as 2500 rpm.  It drives like an old muscle car - pick any gear, open the throttle, hang on.   This is NOT a bike for newbies.  As setup, making more than 125 rear wheel hp and is a torque monster.  I will not sell this bike to an inexperienced rider.  

Currently installed (by original owner):
- custom paint: House of Color "Hot Rod Flatz Blue Metallic," with semi gloss black on the frame, all nuts and bolts, etc..  The black stripes visible are hand painted, set to mimic an old Boss Mustang.  Difficult to get good picture of this paint - it's a truly beautiful matte finish and not intended to have a top coat/wax
- custom fit, steel braided front brake and clutch lines (rear brake still has a rubber line)
- old school (1980's era) GPz 1100 emblems
- Murph's front fork brace (MUCH more stable front end)
- light tint Zero Gravity windshield
- Vance & Hines SS2R full exhaust system and jet kit (shaves almost 15 pounds off the bike, great sound, not obnoxious)
- OEM saddle bags  (currently only left side is on the bike - right mount/bag needs to be adjusted to clear the exhaust tip; slight fading visible on the top of the left bag)
- Norton Manx hand grips - have an unusual and comfortable shape, with a "paddle" on the throttle grip which reduces wrist strain by allowing the base of the thumb to easily modulate the throttle
- original tool kit and owner's manual

Extras included (not on bike):
- original/dual exhaust system (approx 300 miles miles on these pipes)
- light tint Zero Gravity windscreen (was mounted to verify fitment, then removed)
- new saddle (one on the bike still looks new, though)
- full service manual
- Lockhart Phillips tank bra
- Nelson Rigg cover (bike has always been garage kept, too)

I may be forgetting things.  It's a lot to keep track of.

Very small rash on front edge of left fairing and clutch lever (the classic driveway tipover on soft pavement - yes, I know it's a cliche).  Small dimple on top right of tank - something fell on the bike while it was in winter storage. Hairline crack on right "wing" next to windscreen. 

Bike is also for sale locally, and I reserve the right to end the auction early.

Willing to deliver (ride) within 100 miles of 05403 - and bring all of the extras along in a support vehicle

Isle of Man TT 2013: PokerStars Senior TT Race Results

Fri, 07 Jun 2013

For a while there, it looked as if John McGuinness would be held off the top podium position through the entire 2013 Isle of Man TT. McGuinness had recorded third-place finishes at the Superbike, Superstock and the second Supersport TT races earlier in the week, but the active leader in Isle of Man TT wins was stuck at 19 wins all week. That finally changed and the Honda TT Legends racer finally earned win #20 in the final race of this year’s event, the Senior TT.
