benjamin j Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Yesterday morning while searching craigslist cars by owner inoticed a 1973 Kawasaki 90cc road bike in near perfect condition $400 OBO. Iemailed the guy and told him I would take it for that price. <o:p></o:p>I had bought one just like it in 1973 new from the localdealer and loved it. It was destroyed two years later in a garage fire and itwas not covered by insurance. I havelooked at a few over the years but never found one that was worth buying. I drovean hour and a half one way to pick it up yesterday and when I got it home I putjust enough gas in it to drive me around for half an hour. I parked it next tomy 1977 KZ1000 last night. I am so happy and very blessed to have another of myold friends back in my garage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dan at larescorp Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Nice! I have a 79 KZ1100 and a 77 750 triple bobber. Old Kawasaki's are one of the first bikes I ever rode, so I can understand the attachment. Congrats on the find! I hope you really get to enjoy this one.

60FlatTop Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 Ain't it great to have a computer to find this kind of stuff. I remember when Hemmings had mailing addresses and making a long distance phone call was a really big deal.Great find.Bernie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TerryB Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I picked up a 1970 Yamaha enduro 90 several years ago at a great price. The bike had 315 miles on it. It had sat in a shed for 20 years. With some work I was able to get it running again. Now it has 650 miles on it. I have won several trophies with it as it's all original. Great little bike.Congrats on your find!Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
