Kawasaki Other description

Classic Kawasaki S3 400cc two stroke triple cylinder motorcycle in excellent running and cosmetic condition. The motorcycles of the 1970's were the most innovative in style, mechanical design and power sources. Kawasaki's legendary two stroke street bikes are notorious for it's amazing speed, power delivery and that unmistakable sound. This Kawasaki S3 is all original (even the burgundy metalflake paint and tires!) and has been sitting dormant in my garage for the last fifteen years! It has 9313 actual miles and has never been wrecked or damaged! I installed a new battery, plugs and rebuilt the carbs and, (after I remembered the kill switch) it started on the first kick! It now starts and runs flawlessly (no leaks) and is very fast with everything working (except the horn). The gas cap still functions but has broken in two parts. Notice the inside of the gas tank has been coated with Por 15 gas tank sealant. Also back in the day, I had installed new points (a feature which is more sought after than the later electronic ignition). The tank's original metalflake paint and graphics are bright and glossy but has many minor chips and scratches but nothing too distracting. The seat, exhaust pipes, grips, foot pegs, tail light, turn signal lens, switches, tachometer and speedometer are all undamaged but the plastic right side cover is cracked and faded. Overall, this bike is in unusually clean and sharp condition. Don't miss this opportunity to own a true classic, rarely found totally original and running condition and functioning like new with that unique two stroke acceleration! Clear title in my name.

ZX-10R inspired by JPS Lotus?

Tue, 10 Jul 2012

Spotted on Kawasaki's Facebook page, this 'Limited Edition' ZX-10R has been created by none other than double-F1 World Champ Emerson Fittipaldi, who is - amongst other things - a Kawasaki dealer in Brazil and who also happened to win his first World Championship in 1972 in a JPS Lotus that had a very similar colour scheme. Fittipaldi started his motorsport career on a motorcycle, aged just 14, before heading to hydrofoils (surely no-one else at world level has ever raced these?!) and then the more traditional route of karting. Question is: what do you think to the paintjob?

WSBK to Make Fake Headlight Stickers Mandatory for 2013

Fri, 29 Jun 2012

World Superbike racebikes will be required to have fake headlight stickers on their race fairings to more closely resemble their production series counterparts. The new regulation, set to kick in for the 2013 WSBK season, was designed to establish a closer link between the production model and the race-trim superbike. The new rules will also mandate 17-inch aluminum wheels.
