I own a Motorcycle
« on: June 08, 2008, 10:18:53 PM »






1977 KZ650
Had someone come with and check it out top to bottom. As of last summer and not driven since: Brand new tires front and back, brand new rotors / brakes, new fork seals, brand new battery, and a few other tidbits.

15,000 miles and started right up, kick start too.

I Paid $950, he's giving a helmet too. I gave $500 have the keys, and will return in next 2 days with the balance.

I'm giddy with anticipation :D :aok :D :D

Thanks :D

My goal is to drive safe and slow, and spend less than 1.5 gallons per week going to and from work :aok yeah I loved riding back when I was young and dumb, then I jumped and biffed hard on the landing and learned my "don't be stupid on a motorcycle" lesson. I was all of oh 15 LOL but that lesson still sticks in my head.

Best of luck with it, you'll have a blast! Plus those early Jap bikes are fun to work on. Toured all over UK and parts of Europe on a 80's GS1000 only wish I hadn't sold it to pay for my fare home...  :cry

The only time that thing will ever get the front wheel off the ground is when it's being winched onto the tow truck.



Not a bad looking thing though I suppose.  Get some steel soled boots though Mustaine, 650cc kick start.......and always be very serious about your start ups.  Knew a fella once had a Husqvarna 500, thing was a b**** to kick start.  One day he was feeling lazy and gave it a half-hearted kick.....starter handle then got caught by the torque and pitched him clean over a 6' wall.  This was a 6'4" 200lb fella.
