Kawasaki Other description

I purchased this LTD in 2008 when I was starting to look at low mileage vintage motorcycles as a part of my new hobby.  It all started when I found and purchased the KZ650 I had in High School.  Around that time, I purchased 5 motorcycles, all low mileage, original vintage bikes.  

I have ridden this bike less than 500 miles since I have purchased it.  As with most hobbies, my time was limited and I really didn't get to do much with this bike.  I did buy new side covers and mirrors as the originals had issues.  

The tank is clean and is probably a 7.5-8 out of 10.  There are a few scratches ahead of the seat, and a small dent barely noticeable, but very good for a 33 year old original bike.  The seat is excellent, the exhaust is very good with some bluing and the start of corrosion at the headers, but the muffler section is very good.  I have not removed the exhaust to clean and polish them.  Factory exhaust is important for a vintage bike and these are very good. 

I sent this to a local noted KZ mechanic and he put new Carb Boots, tuned the carbs and added a new battery.  The battery is brand new and I have it on a Battery Tender outside of the bike.

I am also providing 2 owners manuals, a Factory Service manual, a two page advertisement, and the original side covers and mirrors. It would be great for a collection or a daily rider as it is clean and runs well.  

The only issue I am aware of is the Speedometer.  When I rode it last year, a gear noise began and the speedo was jumping.  I removed the cable and have not really ridden since, as at is not licensed.  I do start it and drive around the block occasionally to keep the fuel and lubricants fresh.

The model launch will take place at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida, this October 16-19.  “AIMExpo demonstrated last year that it can serve as the ideal platform for media and brand activities and Kawasaki will leverage this grand stage to reveal new products, as well as interact closely with dealers and consumers,” explains Kevin Allen, Kawasaki Manager, PR + Brand Experience. “We have some very exciting new product to share and AIMExpo is the perfect place to make these announcements.” Attendees will also witness the North American introduction of all-new vehicles in several categories from Kawasaki. Following the unveilings, all products will then be on full display for all to see inside Kawasaki’s booth (#2165) out on the AIMExpo show floor.  “Kawasaki joins an expanding list of key companies that sees AIMExpo as the perfect means to infuse energy into the powersports business in North America,” says Larry Little, Vice President and General Manager, Marketplace Events Motorcycle Group.
