2003 Kawasaki ZZR600 (ZX600E)

This ZZR600 is a low mileage bike, having only covered 3,238 miles. It has been garaged from new and looks fantastic. The paintwork is as smooth and shiny as glass and it still has the showroom look to it.

As you would expect from a machine with these miles, there is virtually no wear on the chain and sprockets, brakes or suspension components. The engine starts first time and runs very smoothly. The gear selection is slick and the brakes operate powerfully and progressively. The bike has just been recommissioned after being in storage, so I recently did a carb overhaul and replaced the battery. With proper maintenance, ZZR600s are extremely reliable; it will be many thousands more miles before any work is required on it.

For those not familiar with the ZZR600, it is a 100 bhp, 150 mph sports tourer. When it was introduced it was the fastest 600 sports bike available. Later sports bikes have more power at the top end, although ZZR600s are still known for having a very strong midrange and explosive acceleration. For real world riding where you're not driving everywhere at 9,000+ rpm, the ZZR is the better choice. Handling is good and although it's a sports tourer it's still capable of canyon carving and scraping the pegs if that's your thing. The other strong point of the ZZR is comfort - you can ride this bike all day and not feel like you've been folded up like a piece of origami when you get off it. All in all, this is a great motorcycle that rides exceptionally well and looks fantastic.

The bike has a clean title in my name and is registered until June 2017. The only thing to do on the bike is change the tires which are the original ones fitted to the bike at the factory. Because I don't ride much above legal freeway speeds and there are no visible cracks in them, I have not replaced them. However, this is something that I would recommend doing. There are a few micro marks on the bike from storage; other than that it is in pristine condition. It's for sale for $3,295 or close offer, meaning that you get a bike that looks very nearly as good as new and can do 95% of what a new sports 600 can do for a quarter of the price.

Corbin Bleu Rides to Promote Free Style

Mon, 14 Sep 2009

If you’ve got a tween girl in your life you’re probably aware that High School Musical star Corbin Bleu has a new motocross-inspired movie “Free Style” coming out on October 9. Bleu and some of his co-stars were on hand at a Kawasaki event at Piru Motocross Park in Piru, California to promote the film and the actor/singer took to the track. Bleu got geared up and took a KLX110 and a KLX140 around the track to have a little fun.

Laguna Seca Superbike race: 1979

Tue, 09 Nov 2010

Got to apologise for the mogadon-inspired soundtrack but this 1979 Kawasaki promo vid' is worth watching just for the footage of Freddie Spencer and Wes Cooley. Watch the slo-mo of Cooley's GS1000 Suzuki on the brakes. It's horrendous.

Internet Porn Company to Sponsor Paul Bird Motorsports MotoGP Team

Mon, 04 Mar 2013

Earlier this year, we reported on Dakar racer Hugo Payen and his X-rated sponsor, pornographer Marc Dourcel. Payen seems to have started a trend as British MotoGP team Paul Bird Motorsports has signed a sponsorship deal with erotic movie website MinxFlix.com. The website will back PBM’s Michael Laverty and Yonny Hernandez who will ride on CRT machines featuring Aprilia V4 engines and its own proprietary chassis developed with builder GPMS.
