Kawasaki Eliminator
The Kawasaki Eliminator is a cruiser-type motorcycle that has been produced in several variants since its introduction in 1985 as the 900 Eliminator. Currently billed as a "power cruiser", the first two versions of the bike, namely the 1985 Eliminator and 1986 ZL900 models, were almost street replicas of a drag style bike, featuring shaft drive, the ZX900 close-ratio gearbox and forward seating. The engine for both of these machines was the same motor available in the 900ccm Ninja of the same year, albeit with different exhaust and intake configurations. Available in black for 2005, the Eliminator 125's styling features include a stepped seat with laid-back riding comfort for two, a stretched 3.4-gallon fuel tank, straight-flow exhaust and chrome-plated single headlight. Models ZL900 Introduced in 1985, and only produced for 2 years. It was produced as the ZL900 A1 Eliminator in 1985 and the ZL900 A2 in 1986, the ZL900 evolved from the Kawasaki GPZ900R.

Kawasaki GPZ250
The Kawasaki Ninja 250R (codenamed EX250; previous generations had market-specific names) is a motorcycle in the Ninja sport bike series from the Japanese manufacturer Kawasaki originally introduced in 1986. As the marque's entry-level sport bike, the motorcycle has undergone few changes throughout its quarter-century lifetime, having received only three substantial redesigns. In some markets the Ninja 250R has been succeeded by the Ninja 300. Nomenclature Since 2008, the bike is marketed as the Ninja 250R in all markets. It is also referred to by its platform designation, EX250, to which a generational suffix is attached. In the United States, previous models (EX250-E/F/G/H) were already being marketed as members of the Ninja family of sport bikes, while outside of the U.S. the bike was known variously as the ZZR-250, ZX-250, or as the GPX-250R. One of the earliest models, the EX250-C, was given the name GPZ-250. Model history The Ninja 250R's particular ergonomics, ...

Kawasaki GPZ305
The Kawasaki Gpz305 was a twin cylinder air-cooled SOHC four-stroke motorcycle, produced in 1983 to 1994 by Kawasaki in Japan. The model evolved from the earlier ER250 model and used an overbored version of the 249 cc engine first produced in 1979. Kawasaki gave this model the "Gpz" nomenclature to add to its expanding air-cooled sports bike range, and was marketed as a sports machine. It originally had chain final drive but in 1983 it had a new Kevlar belt final drive first seen on Kawasaki's American styled cruisers. It was available with a 250 cc engine as the Kawasaki Scorpion, but came in a different colour scheme. In ''Cycle World''s "Ten Best Bikes of 1983", the Gpz305 won best "Under 460 cc Street" motorcycle, because it was the "best of the lightweight roadsters", combining small bike advantages of low weight and low cost with the fun of a sport bike. In their review, ''Cycle World'' praised the bike's quick handling in comparison with heavier, more po ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Kawasaki Z500/Z550
The Kawasaki Z500/Z550 series began with the 1979 Z500, a scaled-down version of the Kawasaki Z1R. It used a double-cradle steel frame with a transverse-mounted air-cooled 4-cylinder DOHC (Double Over Head Cam) engine—a classic Universal Japanese Motorcycle. Z500/Z550 (KZ550) This was the first of the line, with a 500cc DOHC engine, later bored out to 553cc and also available as the 398cc Z400J (nearly identical to the Z550). Early Z550 models (1980–1981) had a double disk brake in the front (the US model KZ550 had a single disc brake) and a drum brake in the rear, with a conventional swingarm using twin shock absorbers. Later models (1982–1983) had improved brakes (twin discs in the front, with drum brake in the rear). The original Z500 (1979–1980) differed from the early Z400/Z550 models in having twin front and single rear discs. KZ550D, KZ550H, ZX550A (GPz550) Introduced in 1981, Kawasaki was doing very well in GP racing and developed a higher performance version of ...

It was officially marketed as the GPz1100 B1. Its frame design was a typical cradle design and the engine was based on the new z1000J motor, fitted with roller bearings, but the engine capacity was increased to 1,089 cc. Cycle World stated "...the big Kawi went well, with standing quarters in just over 11 seconds at 119mph, fastest in its class at the time." Rather than featuring carburetors, the B1 was fitted with electronic fuel injection (EFI) a Bosch-derived Nissan fuel injection as used on the earlier 1980 Z1000G/H models. Suspension and braking was similar to earlier models; the front forks featured 38 mm tubes, the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
