I have been interested in these classic tiny 4 cylinders ever since I first read about them. If you've ever ridden one you would understand just how sweet they are. Not too powerful but smooth, willing, and unique; just as Honda wanted it to be. I luckily found this example 6 miles away from me and couldn't resist after taking 1 ride on it. The previous owner had bought it out of someone's storage and took it to a repair shop. Some of the work the shop performed included cleaning carbs, adjusting the valves, new tires and tubes, spark plugs and voltage regulator. He installed the aftermarket single side exhaust and he rode it for a few years before selling it to me. I have owned it for three years and delighted in teaching my daughter how to kickstart a classic Honda.

***1974 Honda CB550 Incredible survivor, unrestored, runs and rides perfect, mild patina*** Folks, rarely will you ever see a bike with the original paint and pipes this clean! All of the chrome still looks decent but could look better with some professional chrome polishing. This bike is in incredible survivor condition and runs better than it looks, seriously!

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.

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.

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.
