Kawasaki KZ250 description

Up for sale is a 1981 Kawasaki KZ250 rare collectible motorcycle in good condition with only 7600 miles. This bike is an oldie, but a goodie. I took it for a spin after getting it running, and it shifts well, and accelerates as expected. The more I work on it the more I just want to keep it for myself. It has room on the seat and foot pegs for the passenger.

Parts recently replaced or restored to working order:

Newly upholstered seat
New accelerator cable
New front brake handle
New spark plug
New blinker flasher module
Repainted gas tank
Restored blinker and horn switches to working order
Adjusted rear brake to have less play
Engine idle adjusted

I am not a motorcycle specialist (so don't expect too much), but I will try to provide you with an honest description. Please refer to the condition description below, and also look at the pictures

Condition Description

Typical wear as would be found on a bike from 1981. Probably sat in sun for some years. Front tire has severe radial cracks, will eventually need to be replaced. Rear tire has a couple of small cracks. There is a whining noise in the speedometer. Gas tank has some light rust. Frame has light rust in places, but is sound. Hardware to attach front brake cable to front brake is missing, but temporarily connected. Engine runs well. Transmission shifts well. Front suspension seems to be soft. Keyed seat lock does not seem to work. Helmet locks do work. General light pitting of chrome. All lights function and instruments function, except a switch that might be missing on the right handlebar. I don't know what it is supposed to control....maybe the air conditioner? :0)

If you have any questions, please ask. I would be more than happy to answer your questions about this bike.

What you get in this auction..... 1 neato-awesome collectible motorcycle with a clear title, and the potential for lots of enjoyment!

I cannot ship it, so you'll have to either arrange your own shipping, or come and get it yourself.

2011 Isle of Man TT Recap

Fri, 10 Jun 2011

The Isle of Man TT usually provides a lot of drama, and this year’s event was no different. John McGuinness, second on the all-time TT wins list, added two more wins to his resume to win the Joey Dunlop Trophy while MotoCzysz once again fell just short of taking the bounty for being the first electric motorcycle team to record a 100 mph lap on the Mountain Course. The 2011 Isle of Man TT also had its share of tragedy with three racing fatalities.

Americans reported 45,367 stolen motorcycles in 2013, down 1.5% from 2012, reports the National Insurance Crime Bureau‘s latest Motorcycle Theft and Recovery Report. According to the NICB motorcycle thefts have been on the decline every year since 2007 when 65,678 motorcycles were reported stolen, though the overall trend appears to be leveling off.

Why restore as standard when you can do this?

Spotted this delicious Z1000 on bubblevisor’s site, the other day. It is living proof that metallic brown paint is the new black. As is the case with some of these blog sites, there’s very little or no information about the bike, just a pic.
