Almost crate fresh Kx500
1989kawasaki:
if i got a kx500 in the CRATE i wouldnt even touch it cause it would be an awesome collectors item
what would you guys do with a 500 new in a sealed crate?
BronkoRob:
i feel your pain!! i got one in the same condition about 2 months ago. got it from the original owner who rode it a time or two, got hurt doing something else and never rode again. im looking to set it up for desert and trails, but man as im collecting parts its hard to start taking off such clean stock parts, or think about the life it has ahead of it! but i got into dirt bikes to ride and not to use as art, ive got a a space on my wall for the bikes i had and shouldnt have gotten rid of for that
whats the deal with an all black seat? mine is exactly the same. black seat and tank, except the only decals on mine is the shrouds. did the dealers usually swap out the seats straight out of the crate?
Friar-Tuck:
If your bike is in that good of shape, you may consider taking off all the stock plastic and put it away for when its time to sell, if you can afford it.
Very few guys did this, but the ones who did were able to put all the new olds stock on the bike at sale time and get a bit better price.
I'm thinking that's what may have happened to the bike in question.
The race bike got beat up so the owner took the replacement parts off the back up and replaced the parts when he could. Maybe thats why some of the bike looks different.
I dunno' .. But the engine,frame and pipe look new.
