Kawasaki Other description

This is a 1977 Kawasaki KZ1000 (Barn Find). It was plated up through 2012, but hasn't been on the road since 1989. The old retired guy in his 70's I bought the bike from used it to go to Colorado in the summers. Since sitting, he turned the motor over every year to keep the motor from becoming stuck.
The motor has very good compression. This bike would be a great restoration project. The serial number on the frame is KZT00A-503095 and the engine is KZT00AE011097

The Supersport event began with a hard-fought battle between three-time champion Kenan Sofuoglu, Kev Coghlan and Michael van der Mark. Sofuoglu and his Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6R held a slim lead over Coghlan’s Yamaha R6 and van der Mark’s Honda CBR600RR when the race was halted after CIA Insurance Honda rider Jack Kennedy suffered an engine problem and leaked oil onto the track.

Remembering the KR750, named the 'Green Meanie', TT winner Mick Grant said: "The KR750 was not as bad as what people thought it was. It had a nice spread, with enormous power and mid-range torque.

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.
