1979 Kawasaki KZ650SR - - Engine & trans good / Frame straight - - Good tires - Still not bad looking . This bike needs to be serviced and have missing parts replaced to be a driveable bike. If you have KZ650 parts and are into putting some effort into having a ride, this could be a nice bike for cheap. Comes with factory service manual. I am sure it could run fine / It has a clear IL title / know specifically what parts are missing, and what it needs.2016-06-30 04:42:31Skokie, Illinois, United States134900

Here is a very clean example of the 1979 Kawasaki KZ1000 LtdThis bike is a real survivor, with only 16k miles on it.Everything works as it should, runs and rides great, it has been stored in a climate controlled garage for the past 8 years under a cover.Al fluids are new , brakes inspected and flushed , new battery , tires hardly have any miles in them, ready to go.The bike is nearly factory original except for the K&N filters.Carbs gone through and tuned, still a great performing motorcycle even at today's standards!Great condition, just thinning out my collection.Clean and clear Texas title ready to be transferred to the new owner.I will gladly store the home with my others until pick up or shipping arrangements are made.Thanks for looking2016-06-28 04:48:21Henrietta, Texas, United States169300

2024 Kawasaki Z500 SE Review – First Ride
Tue, 14 May 2024Displacement 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 2024Photos 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 2023A 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.
