1978 KZ 400 Kawasaki (1978)
Selling my 1978 Kawasaki KZ400 Runs beautifully, previous owner had the carbs done, it starts up first hit of the electric start no problem. I'm only selling because I live in New York City and have been keeping the bike at my parents house in NJ all summer. I was thinking I would be out riding it more often then I actually have been.

I am selling this 1978 Kawasaki KZ1000 for a friend who is selling his ranch and has to get rid of his inventory.

This bike has been in a barn for a few years but was started every month and runs great This is a two owner bike, first owner only had 100 miles on bike before my friend bought it. It has a clear title but has not been regestered in over ten years.

1978 Kawasaki KZ-1000A (1978)
I have nice 1978 Kawasaki KZ1000A, I'm auctioning for a friend of mine. She's a numbers matching KZ1000A with 39,000 highway miles, the chrome is nice, paint is in fair condition with some fading and normal wear for a bike that's 35 years old. The bike runs strong, the carbs were gone over and cleaned, has a new battery powering Dyna coil packs. It will need a new rear tire in the future. We have all keys with matching locks, this is a really nice bike you can hop on and ride her home. Buyer to arrange all pick up and shipping...if interested or have any questions, please call Kawasaki Jim 717-244-4374 after 5 pm EST P.S. the bike is not leaking any fluids, placement of bike is over existing oil mark...just in case you were wondering :)

1978 Kawasaki KZ650 SR (1978)
I'd hate to sell this beautiful classic motorcycle, but need to make room for other things. This bike needs nothing. This year the carbs were ultrasonically cleaned and synched. The tank was cleaned and coated with Kleen. I also put new steering bearings, upgraded to All Balls needle bearings instead of the crappy ball bearings they came with. It has fresh oil in the engine and in the down tubes. New plugs and air filter. Tires have a few hundred miles in them. It also comes with shorter chrome shocks if you wish to lower it. The stock shocks are 13" and the shorter ones are 11". The paint is the original 35 year old paint and it still shines. The tank has a few minor dings (you'd have to look for them) and the clearcoat has faded a little bit in some areas. Like I said, it needs nothing, just a rider. Clear Ohio title on hand.

1978 KZ1000 and large cache of parts - tons of vintage parts! (1978)
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.

Here is a very nice low mileage bike that I picked up some time ago. When I purchased the bike it needed a little bit of attention so here is what I've done to it: It has a new seat, new rear grab bar, and had a professional paint job put on it that is fantastic- looks awesome! It has complete airbox system and owner's manual. I replaced the header with a set of very nice stock exhaust from a '79 KZ 1000, they look great on the bike. The bike runs GREAT, all electrical functions are working properly, good brakes and tires. The pictures don't due this bike justice, it is absolutely beautiful! All the chrome is in exellent condtion. If you have any questions please feel free to call me. Dave 517-242-7780

Published almost everywhere, It starts as a 1978 KZ650 where the cylinders have been bored and sleeved to 830cc with a MTC big bore kit from the late 70s. The upper case has been machined as well. This was a complete case split rebuilt documented with pictures (uploaded on my website) The turbo kit is from ATP American Turbo Pak (ATP branded intake manifold, turbocharger RayJay F40 and exhaust manifold and pipe), just like the one that equipped the Kawasaki Z1R-TC back in 1978-79.

1978 Kawasaki Kz 650, Relatively rare model KZ650 D1, limited production stateside. Basically this was the first SR model, but it was not officially dubbed SR until 1979. Very good aesthetic condition, especially for the age.

Hard to find 1978 Kawasaki Z1R, Kawasaki's entry into the Superbike war of 1978. Good running, well kept bike. Bike was painted black sometime in the 1980's and the stripe kit to duplicate the 1980 Z1R paint job was added later. There are small nicks and dings but is still shiny and presentable. Seat is cover is a very nice newer duplicate. Exhaust is a Vance and Hines 4 into 1 that's a few years old and in very good condition. Not real loud but has a nice sound. Bike runs good, tank is clean inside and it has no oil or gas leaks. Tires are older but serviceable. Original kickstarter lever that belongs under the seat is gone and stock windshield was replaced 2 years ago. Have the little chrome cover that goes over the seat lock but the spring is missing. Fresh oil change and new battery. Everything works but the fuel gauge. Overall a good rider quality bike or a good candidate for full restoration. Shipping is the responsibility of the buyer. Please check shipping costs before you bid. On Oct-03-16 at 16:54:47 PDT, seller added the following information: It has been brought to my attention that the tachometer may not be original. That could be the case. There could be other items replaced, repaired or missing too as this is a 38 year old bike that I have only owned a short time. This is not being advertised as a completely original or pristine bike.

1978 Kawasaki KZ200 In great running condition, ready to be a daily commuter. Would also make the perfect starting point for a winter cafe project. The bike has been tuned up and safety checked at Berkshire Cycles. Tires have lots of tread but should probably be changed. If you're just getting into motorcycles and want a smaller bike that you can rely on, this is perfect.

2025 Kawasaki KLX230R / KLX230R S Review

Mon, 11 Nov 2024

Designed to inspire addiction Kawasaki would like to think it knows its customer possibly better than they know themselves, and anyone invested in bringing new riders into the sport understands the importance of setting them up for success. A new rider’s first steed should be approachable, forgiving, playful, price-conscious, and cool. Kawasaki has set out to offer the perfect bike on all fronts, and in my opinion, they have succeeded.

2024 Kawasaki Z500 SE Review – First Ride

Tue, 14 May 2024

Displacement creeps alongside tech and styling updates Photos by Kevin Wing Every rider can fondly recall their first street motorcycle. Maybe it was a used 1980s “Honda Davidson” cruiser with miles of wear and tear. Or perhaps it was a shiny new lightweight sport bike, candy coated and bright like a Skittle.

2024 Kawasaki Ninja 500 Review – First Ride

Tue, 23 Apr 2024

Photos by Kevin Wing Photo/Kawasaki Kawasaki has been dominating the realm of entry-level motorcycles, especially with the introduction of the Ninja 400 in 2018. In fact, they were so capable and enjoyable to ride that I bought one myself and it has become one of my favorite motorcycles in my stable. The Ninja 400 wasn't perfect, and I had my gripes about it.

2024 Kawasaki KLX300/KLX300SM Review – First Ride

Mon, 18 Dec 2023

A winning formula gets even more… winning-er Photos: Kevin Wing Kawasaki’s media guy Brad Puetz (pronounced like the actor, though this Brad is not nearly as good looking or famous) said something that stuck with me. “Between the Versys 650 and this, these are the two bikes journalists tend to buy most from us.” As a previous Versys 650 owner – purchased from MO’s former Editorial Director Sean Alexander, and then passed down after me to another former MO staffer Tom Roderick, we can certainly attest to the first part. 2024 Kawasaki KLX300/KLX300SM Kawasaki has an unexpected success with the KLX300 and KLX300SM, so instead of massive changes for what's essentially an entry-level motorcycle, Kawasaki decided to make it look better.

The world’s first production hybrid motorcycle has a lot to offer – but does it make any sense in America? Photos: Kawasaki Like it or not, regulatory agencies around the world are cracking down on vehicle emissions and imposing some of the strictest rules we, the motoring public, have ever seen. One of these rules includes restricting, or even banning, petrol-powered vehicles through portions of some European cities.

CARB Filings Hint at Updated Kawasaki Z650RS for 2024

Mon, 10 Apr 2023

Traction control and updated instruments expected The California Air Resources Board has issued an executive order for what we expect to be an updated Kawasaki Z650RS for the 2024 model year. The update is expected to be relatively minor, adding traction control to the Z650RS. The update would bring the retro RS model in line with the more modern-styled Z650 and the Ninja 650, both of which were updated with traction control for 2023, as well as the Versys 650 which received traction control in 2022.
