what a showroom clean bike! It's truly amazing what treasures some people have in the corner of their garages that almost never got used....

But for those who might be interested, the bike is located in Belgium.
It sure would be a good buy, but i can't convince my girl.
Too much 2-wheeled toys in the garage already, she says.... :x

I only has about 50 original hours on it and it came with the title. It also came with an original kawasaki top end rebuild kit. I bought the bike for $500. Take a look at my pictures in the gallery. I will have to take some more.

Post by: traileater on September 23, 2010, 11:36:09 AM: I miss mine. I bought 1 in the crate back in 86, sure hated it when i first rode it, but that soon changed. With open bikes you cant take a week off, gotta keep riding it. I have to say its probably my favorite bike Ive owned...out of 20.
