Back in the pre-interstate days of family car-trips, New England was peppered with small museums devoted to cars, trains, airplanes, trolleys, and occasionally motorcycles. One such museum just east of Hartford, Conn. has an almost pre-historic Ninja up for sale, and while it’s not running, it looks substantially original and might be a good choice…
What might’ve happened if progressive licensing had been adopted world-wide ? Maybe herds of 4-cylinder DOHC 250’s would be roaming North America. Or could the wide open spaces and 5-day coast-to-coast rides have eventually nudged us toward 1300cc water buffalo ? This gray-market ZX-R250 makes one wonder. 1994 Kawasaki ZXR-250 for sale on eBay The ZX-R250 was…

Way back when, in ’97 – no actually 1996, Kawasaki transitioned from the ZXR750 to the ZX-7R, and incorporated the steady evolution and innovation from the factory and AMA Superbike race teams. Though the model continued until 2003, the 90’s were good years for the ZX-7R, Scott Russell winning the AMA Superbike in 1992 and…
In the early 1990’s, Kawasaki had a nostalgic feeling for the 70’s, when the ground-pounding Z-1 ruled the tar pits. Standard bikes ( now called naked ) had a short-lived resurgence in the 550, 750 and 1100 cc models, with a 400 cc Japan-only variant. An editor at Sport Rider went through an orange/burgundy 1100…
An update of the earlier 1988 MC18, the 1989 Honda NSR250R model saw evolutionary changes to the bodywork and styling of this small-displacement sportbike.
