"Works" Kawasaki flat tracker
« on: January 04, 2012, 04:12:19 pm »
This little bike 'ain't cheap but it's sure pretty. I wonder what constitutes a "factory" motor. It's certainly not an '82 SR motor, they were water cooled. To me it looks kinda A4/A5 but the clutch cover looks different. What's the score here Kawasaki experts?

I think you could drop anything into a knight frame and it would look good :)

Ever since I bought a new A5 250 I've alway's loved the Kwaka Green.
If he bought it for 5.5 and then transported it here, I would think he wants at least 7k.
It is BEAUutifull.

Sort of remember it for sale a while ago. Cool that it's now in australia, better bring it up to Action Park and get some of that good ol tacky oily dirt on it.

Who owns it and where does he live? It'd be great to see it doing some skids in the near future. I'm rapt that these bikes are coming into the country at a steady rate.  While they may not be the absolute hot ticket for our track surfaces, they're still really cool bikes and as fun as shit to ride. On a bang for buck quota I reckon I had more fun on my Champion framed Yamaha SC500 than any other bike I've ever raced with the exception of my trusty 350 squarie Maico.

I own this bike, these motors were available in various specs direct out of the catalogue to factory riders and are quite different to a kx  .This knight  has the same motor as Rainey's viper  framed tracker pictured, i love the bike but  like anything its for sale at the right price, i am not interested in racing the bike, i bought it purely because i loved it and wanted it for my collection, it came from Merced CA, Which is quite a distance from where it was shipped from, then ended up in qld and had to be brought Melbourne, an expensive exercise! it was one of the first bikes i imported so i learnt the hard way way what not to do! by the time it arrived nearly 6mths later i wasn't happy, everything i have brought over since ive done through Darren Cheney , he makes it easy
