Kawasaki KZ250 description

Up for sale is a 1981 Kawasaki KZ250 rare collectible motorcycle in good condition with only 7600 miles. This bike is an oldie, but a goodie. I took it for a spin after getting it running, and it shifts well, and accelerates as expected. The more I work on it the more I just want to keep it for myself. It has room on the seat and foot pegs for the passenger.

Parts recently replaced or restored to working order:
  • Newly upholstered seat
  • New accelerator cable
  • New front brake handle
  • New spark plug
  • New blinker flasher module
  • Repainted gas tank
  • Restored blinker and horn switches to working order
  • Adjusted rear brake to have less play
  • Engine idle adjusted

I am not a motorcycle specialist (so don't expect too much), but I will try to provide you with an honest description. Please refer to the condition description below, and also look at the pictures 

Condition Description
Typical wear as would be found on a bike from 1981. Probably sat in sun for some years. Front tire has severe radial cracks, will eventually need to be replaced. Rear tire has a couple of small cracks. There is a whining noise in the speedometer. Gas tank has some light rust. Frame has light rust in places, but is sound. Hardware to attach front brake cable to front brake is missing, but temporarily connected. Engine runs well. Transmission shifts well. Front suspension seems to be soft. Keyed seat lock does not seem to work. Helmet locks do work. General light pitting of chrome. All lights function and instruments function, except a switch that might be missing on the right handlebar. I don't know what it is supposed to control....maybe the air conditioner? :0)


If you have any questions, please ask. I would be more than happy to answer your questions about this bike.

What you get in this auction.....  1 neato-awesome collectible motorcycle with a clear title, and the potential for lots of enjoyment!


I cannot ship it, so you'll have to either arrange your own shipping, or come and get it yourself.

2011 ZX-10R onboard lap.. worked out nice

Thu, 16 Dec 2010

I've been playing around with video cameras in the office here for a good year with varying degress of success. The GoPro we use is great - when it's behaving. But I've had too many sessions where it doesn't like the SD card I fed it, the batteries die as you're leaving pit lane or you record a perfect lap, but with the camera pointing at the sky, or the tank.

FIM Releases New WSBK Rules – Updates Include Pitstops, Weight Limits and Headlight Decals

Wed, 17 Oct 2012

The International Motorcycling Federation and the Superbike Racing Commission released a number of amendments to the 2013 World Superbike Championship rulebook including pitstops, fake headlights and a revised starting grid alignment. We’ve already seen the fake headlights with Kawasaki getting a jump on the new regulation earlier this season with headlight decals on Tom Sykes‘ and Loris Baz‘s ZX-10R. Starting in 2013, all superbikes will have fake headlights to resemble their homologated production models.

2010 Kawasaki Z1000 – First Ride

Fri, 11 Dec 2009

UPDATE: Full Review now available on Motorcycle.com Almost forgotten among a group of new high-profile sportbikes is the new Kawasaki Z1000. After having ridden it yesterday in the twists and hills of the Central California coast, I’m here to tell you that this is a real-world sportbike to be reckoned with. Forget the old Z1000.
