Kawasaki Other description

1978 Kawasaki KZ1000, I have owned this bike since 1994, nearly 30 years.  I have decided to sell because I don't ride it at all anymore and someone should enjoy this bike. It has sat unused for too long and needs to appreciated by a new owner. I have set a reserve that is very reasonable when considering all the extra parts you are getting.  I had the bike tuned and running last summer, rode it 2X's and it has been sitting since. I tried to start bike yesterday, battery was dead, I tried kick starting it for about 15 minutes and gave up.  I am done with messing with it.  It will run with very little effort.   I am selling a huge collection of parts with the bike as well.  Everything goes as a package deal.  Many original parts are included in sale.  Bike comes with nearly all the parts to put it back to showroom stock if you choose to go that route except, handlebars, exhaust, and air cleaner.    Bike is mainly stock with some bolt-ons: Vance and Hines exhaust, Dyna Ignition and coils, K&N Air filters, Braided Steel brake Lines, Corbin seat, etc. Engine internals are stock: only 19K miles on engine.  I am positive of it.   Bike is complete.  It is painted with a very deep purple PPG custom color.   looks black until you get it into sunlight, then you can see the candy color.  Bike currently has spoked wheels on it, but comes with aluminum mag-style wheels.  One of the rear wheels is from a Police KZ1000 and worth a few $$$'s.  Included in the extra parts list: :KZ1000 Plaque,  foot brake assembly, kick stand, center stand, turn signal assembly, original rear fender, shifter levers, brake levers, headlight housing, mirror, front fork stabilizer, ignition cover, rear shocks, extra fuel tank, side covers, 2 original style seats: one totally original flat seat/original stitching/perfect condition, another stepped original seat that was re-upholstered., 2 sissy bars, oil cooler, chrome bolt kits, 3 sprockets, chain guard, 3 mag style wheels- 1 front, 2 rear, Top-end of engine assy: cylinder bores, cylinder head, 6 carbs, cams, valves and springs, etc all fasteners, these have been taken apart in a "semi-organized" manner and bagged  No damage to bores.  There is NOT a crank or rods here.  The photos show quite clearly what is included.  If you have any questions, let me know.  Buyer is expected to pick up the bike in Dallas/North TX Area or arrange shipping.  I may be able to deliver bike to neighboring states for a very reason able fee. Deposit by PayPal of $300 due within 3 days of close of auction.  Bike to be picked-up within 7 days of close of auction unless other arrangements are made. Balance to be paid by Cashiers Check or CASH only.   Communication is key!  Good Luck!

Melandri earned BMW its landmark first win in Race One leading Haslam in a one-two finish. They could have repeated that finish in Race Two but Haslam low-sided after making contact with Honda‘s Jonathon Rea trying to pass on the inside.

Video: Riding the 2011 MSS Kawasaki ZX-10 Superbike racer

Thu, 10 Mar 2011

A long time ago a man – some would say living legend – taught me how to ride a speedway bike. In Scandinavian tinged English he told me that the heart of riding a speedway bike was the relationship between my heart and the centre nut of the top yoke. Like a primitive cave dweller, he beat his heart with his fist while he explained this theory whilst his other hand gripped the top yoke.
