    Default Mmmm 82' Kawasaki KZ550

    My new bike....and I'm lovin' it. So fun, not super fast, but super reliable so far. Picked it up for $240 with a tiny wiring problem (1 wire) got it fixed and added a few thing...so for about $350 or less I have a GREAT bike. I love the way the pods sound when I open her up. Cant lean over any farther, already scraped both mufflers, kickstand, centerstand, and front pegs. Man I love this bike.

    When I bought it:

    Another nice looking Kawi...even though, for some odd reason, I personally liked the z400 better.
