1974 Kawasaki Other (1974)
I wont sugar coat it, this bike is in rough shape. It's a 1974 Kawasaki 250 triple. What I know is wrong: No title (the guy i got it from just wanted the engine, he never got it) No keys (again, the guy just wanted the engine) all 3 pistons need replaced. They were rusted solid inside the cylinders. all 3 cylinders need to be bored and honed crankshaft needs to be rebuilt (3 or 4 of the bearings have excessive play in them from rusting and being cleaned) bike needs new throttle cable (if you're going to rebuild the engine, you should probably replace all the cables) light surface rust on whole bike The good: I already stripped the engine and split the crank case for you i already cleaned all the rust off the crank shaft (it was pretty bad) all the parts are still here The first picture is the bike in the condition i received it.2016-12-15 04:37:10Glassboro, New Jersey, United States94100 -

1973 Kawasaki S2 350 Triple (1973)
Original 1973 S2 350 triple with only 1176 original miles, The title has 3,762 miles but that was a mistake when I registered it last year at the DMV. I didn't want to go through the hassle of correcting it at the time because I thought I would never sell it. Bought it from the original owner last year. Put new tires and tubes, mirrors, cleaned the carbs, changed the oil and put new plugs. Starts on the first kick, runs great. There are a few dings on the tank, not very noticeable though, the cowling in the back has some missing paint from trying to remove an old inspection sticker. Needs a little cleaning up.

First I must tell you, this bike needs a new engine, unless you are a mechanic. Engine is still good however the small sprocket is broke off and second gear is shot.

1984 Kawasaki Factory Turbo Sportbike (1984)
1984 KAWASAKI Factory Turbo, The GPZ is rare and by far the best of the factory turbo bikes built in the 1980's, factory turbo ran a 10.6 with pewee Gleason as pilot this bike was very advanced for its time including liquid-crystal instrumentation, and Digital Fuel Injection for flawless response and incredible fuel economy (I still get 60mpg average). This GPZ has benefited from literally thousands of dollars of costly updates and restoration components which make it run, ride, and handle like a much more modern machine while retaining a stock appearance, classic sportbike looks, and the all-day comfortable riding position you get with an 80's vintage Superbike. This GPZ has been collector owned and maturely ridden.2013-09-05 05:55:44RINGWOOD, NJ, US06,850.00 -

2023 Kawasaki KLX230 S Review - First Ride
Wed, 14 Dec 2022Reducing the seat height without lowering expectations Credit: Photos by Kevin Wing Entry level dual-sport has for a very long time existed in the void between categories, particularly when you consider folks who are shorter in the inseam. We all need to start somewhere, but for most who did not grow up riding, or maybe started exclusively on street motorcycles, the reality is that the entry-level engine size is often combined with the inability to comfortably touch the ground at a stop. That’s enough to deter all but the most stubborn of vertically challenged riders.
Old Dog, New Tricks: Tackling The LA-Barstow To Vegas Dual-Sport Ride
Mon, 05 Dec 2022Joining the 39th running of the famed event on a Ducati DesertX and a Kawasaki KLX300 Credit: Photos by Cait Maher, Evans Brasfield, Grumpy, and Ryan Adams Let’s be honest, dual-sport motorcycles aren’t really designed for touring, despite my best efforts ( here and here). The bikes are merely street-legal dirt bikes without much accommodation for creature comfort. So, spending 220-ish miles flat in the saddle from Las Vegas, NV to Palmdale, CA, mostly on Interstate 15, is a platform for cataloging discomforts, and after riding approximately 360 miles, mostly off road over the two previous days, my aches-and-pains were legion.

The alternative energy models are part of Kawasaki’s efforts to reach carbon neutrality, with production models expected to launch in the next two to three years. Most of the prototypes used Kawasaki’s new Go with Green Power logo which will be used on its carbon neutrality efforts.
