This is a beautiful 2013 ninja 1000. Is has always been taken care of. I installed the stealth mirrors and a tinted window screen. I also installed a $1600 full exhaust with headers and muffler. It has a Sargent $500 front seat. Show less

Love the power low and top end. Able to hang in the curves and yet can comfortably ride all day on the interstate. No chain to worry with shaft drive is designed so there is little to no dive when applying brakes or accelerating. Great hard bags easily detachable and lockable. Windscreen moves with the touch of a button and remembers previous setting. Seat is one of the most comfortable Show less

The ZX9R is a fantastic sports / touring bike that has sharp handling, braking , a great fuel range and fantastic ergonomics; today’s sport bikes are anything but comfortable and are built with a track focus in mind. Another point is insurance is very reasonable because of the sports touring designation from insurers. Like any other motorcycle, maintenance is of upmost importance for safety and reliability. Keep the ZX9R tuned and maintained properly and you will be rewarded with mile after comfortable mile. The only downside is some people don’t like carburetors because they don’t understand them but they are reliable as long as they are maintained properly and filters changed on a regular maintenance schedule.

My Kawasaki 900 Custom began as my "first bike" but 4 or 5 years later it's proven to be so much more. It's a great daily driver when weather permits, surprisingly nimble for it's size and weight, and damn reliable. It won't set any land speed records, but it has enough haul to get the job done. I'm a big fan. Show less

As a female rider was a great buy! Adjustable height added so I could touch the ground. Controls to "dummy down" the traction, power modes, and ABS make it a great bike for new or experienced riders. It saves the money of not having to buy a bigger, more powerful bike later since you can have a 400 and 750 all in one! Show less

Absolutely a great bike!!! Amazing power, amazing handling. Great reliability. Great looks. Just a bulletproof bike. The shaft drive is super smooth and the power is endless. Front air forks, rear airshocks work perfectly. Very comfortable bike for driver and passenger. I would recommend these bikes to anyone who loves to ride. Not for a beginner though that's for sure. Must be an experienced rider. Show less

1983 Kawasaki GPZ1100 Review The 1983 Kawasaki GPZ1100 is a legendary machine that marked a significant milestone in the evolution of superbikes. With its bold red color and sleek design, it was a head-turner right from the start. But the GPZ1100 was more than just a pretty face; it was a powerhouse on wheels. Performance and Engine: Under the hood, the GPZ1100 packed an air-cooled, fuel-injected, DOHC 1089cc inline-four engine. This beast delivered impressive power, thanks to several top-end changes introduced in 1983. The combustion chamber was redesigned to a polyspheric shape, allowing for larger valves and a higher compression ratio of 9.5:1. The result? More power and better performance1. The engine’s straight-cut primary drive and five-speed transmission ensured smooth power delivery, making the GPZ1100 a joy to ride. The bike’s midrange power was particularly noteworthy, providing a smooth and responsive ride without the abrupt rush of top-end power seen in some competitors2. Handling and Suspension: Kawasaki equipped the GPZ1100 with advanced features for its time, including anti-dive forks and a single-rear-shock suspension. These race-proven components contributed to the bike’s stable and predictable handling, especially at high speeds. However, some riders found the handling a bit heavy at lower speeds, a trade-off for its high-speed stability. Design and Comfort: The GPZ1100’s design was both functional and stylish. The frame-mounted half fairing, sweeping lines, and red wheels with polished aluminum highlights gave it a distinctive look. The cockpit was designed for functionality, offering a comfortable riding position for long journeys. Legacy: The 1983 GPZ1100 was Kawasaki’s statement of intent in the superbike arena. It was a bike that combined power, style, and advanced technology, setting a benchmark for future models. While it faced stiff competition from Suzuki’s GS1100 and Honda’s CB1100F, the GPZ1100 held its own and remains a beloved classic among motorcycle enthusiasts. Whether you’re a fan of vintage bikes or just appreciate a well-engineered machine, the 1983 Kawasaki GPZ1100 is a testament to Kawasaki’s commitment to performance and innovation. Show less

https://www.motorcyclenews.com/bike-reviews/kawasaki/zx-10r/2004/ The Kawasaki ZX-10R is sold as the ultimate track bike – the 2004/05 ZX-10R was one of Kawasaki’s first machines after the firm gave itself a kick up the arse in 2002. The 10R’s one wild ride and an absolute weapon in experienced hands. It’s light, makes massive power and handles superbly on the track – a bit of a handful on the road though. 2004-2005 Kawasaki ZX-10R C used buyers' guide The original, hardcore ZX-10R took the world by storm. Light at a quoted 170kg dry with an arm-ripping 181bhp according to Kawasaki, it was always going to be lively and attract a certain type of customer. Nick Morgan team owner of MSS racing simply describes the original bike as, “bloody brilliant bike, 160bhp stock, 175bhp with a fettle and a great chassis”. Back in ‘04 it came with radial brakes on petal discs, fully adjustable suspension front and back and digital dash with lap timer. It was aimed at the racy, track day public and proved to be a big hit. Show less
