Scrounging around on the auction site this evening I located this pretty good looking 86′ Kawasaki GPz1000R Ninja. 1986 Kawasaki Ninja 1000R For Sale on eBay! Not too shabby eh? These were only brought stateside for 3 years and competed for the same floor space as the earth shattering GPz900 (Think Kelly McGillis). While you…
If an unwritten manufacturer’s agreement hadn’t limited its speed to a mere 186 mph, the ZX-12R would’ve been the most powerful and fastest GT in the early oughties. This example has some miles, but has clearly been pampered and thoughtfully upgraded. 2001 Kawasaki ZX-12R for sale on eBay The ZX-12R’s air of superiority started right…
1996 Kawasaki ZX-11 For Sale on eBay! I know Kawasaki made too many of these to be considered “Rare” and I also know it doesn’t have a fancy smancy “1 of 250” number plate affixed to the triple clamp. But, but, but . . . this one only has a scant 3,475 miles on the…
In 2014 Kawasaki announced that they would be bringing back the H2 name plate. Many times these resurrections are simply marketing ploys and offer little in a way of a connection to the original.

I know what you are thinking: How can this possibly be a genuine ELR if it’s in white?? And if you think that way, you are likely located in North America. You can thank the RSBFS institution of higher learning to help widen your viewpoint and knowledge base. You see, while the ELR was strictly…
Update 10.7.21: This bike has SOLD. Congratulations to buyer and seller! -dc Rarer in the U.S. than a 145-lb. rider, Kawasaki’s 150cc two stroke KRR-150 sings a high RPM song of far off places. But for a lighter weight fan of two-stroke fun, RSBFS reader Michael’s KRR might be the perfect hobby. 2003 Kawasaki KRR-150…
A blast from the past, the GPz was perhaps the ultimate expression of sport bike back when Olivia Newton‑John was getting physical, Rocky had the eye of the tiger, and Tommy Tutone was trying to remember Jenny’s number. This was an era before liquid cooling, before fuel injection, and long before computers had anything to…
