Kawasaki Other description
1978 Kawasaki KZ1000B LTD, this is quite the Hotbike. 27K on the chassis. I purchased the bike in order to restore it to original condition but I was fortunate to find a one owner mint 1977 KZ 1000 LTD. The motor was built as a race motor but not really raced. Very little mileage. It was a spare possibly. My understanding is it has over 100 RWhp. It has 33-36 mm flatslide Mikuni's with individual pods. Which are worth $500 by themselves. (about $800-900 new) The motor is exceptionally clean. The top end is of a 1979 KZ 1000 which flows better and is lighter by 9 lbs over the KZ 1000. The way this bike runs it feels like it has been ported but I can't be certain of that unless I disassemble the motor. No blue or brown smoke, clean. It has a newer Vance and Hines chrome exhaust. The paint is in what I would consider in presentable condition, a blue/purple metallic, but then again I have build pristine show bikes. The tank itself on the inside is excellent and is rust free on the inside from what I can see. I put a new Pingel dual flow petcock to able to match the Mikuni's. The tires are serviceable and have good amount of tread left. The Mulholland shocks are OEM for the LTD model. Recovered Saddleman seat cover. Overall this is an excellent candidate for a good clean up or restoration. Getting KZ and LTD parts new is fairly easy through all the resto companies such as Z1 enterprises, Z1 parts.net. Zresto for gauges. Title is clean and registered in Washington State. Shipping is up to the purchaser. Sorry no warrantee implied sold as is. There will be a $500 no refund deposit within 24 hours via Paypal. Payment by cashiers, bank check. I will release the bike and title when the check clears. Good luck bidding, get this now before the LTD's become more and rare, this was the original Hotrod cruiser before all the other ones. The original 1976 LTD was actually designed in Southern California by SoCal hotrod shops when Kawasaki researched what the public wanted in the mid 1970's. A true Dragbike Icon of the 70's. The GS 1000E is my latest build.

Moto3. Recession racers?
Mon, 08 Nov 2010I've sat through enough manufacturer' presentations recently to know that we're in trouble. Ignoring the still booming Asian markets, the rest of the motorcycle World is in free-fall. Even looking at the figures optimistically we're still only selling half the volumes we were in pre-crash 2006.
2014 AMA Supercross – Indianapolis Results
Mon, 03 Mar 2014Ryan Dungey captured his first win of the 2014 AMA Supercross season in a wild main event that saw two of the top title contenders crashing on the starting straight at Indianapolis‘ Lucas Oil Stadium. Smartop MotoConcepts Suzuki rider Mike Alessi took the holeshot for the second race in a row, but the big news was incoming points leader Ryan Villopoto and Ken Roczen going down before the first turn. Roczen trailed Villopoto by nine points going into the Indianapolis round, but the KTM rookie’s hopes of overtaking the reigning champion took a blow when he went down on the straight, knocking Villopoto off in the process.
ZX-10R. Worth the weight?
Thu, 18 Nov 2010The whisper on pit lane is that 2011 will be a good year for the green K. Our moles within the racing circles tell us that apart from more power and less weight (always handy), the new ZX-10R's main advantage is not these two factors but rather its improved weight distribution, weight transference qualities and grip levels. Studying Tom Syke's lap time data from Kawasaki's public test sessions it seems it's much easier for him to maintain consistent fast lap times back-to-back over the whole range of tyre degradation and fuel load changes.
