Hello Everyone!

I just Recently picked up My First Kawasaki!

It's a Little 1978 KZ200 with 11k on the clock and
is a nice little Barn find. I'll post some pics shortly.
just About the only thing it needs is a front caliper and some scrubbing. (I Assume the front manual caliper will be very hard to find)

I have a sickness/Weakness for old Bikes Of all makes. I Have several That I Have brought home over the years, this being my First Kaw.

Anyhow..... I am glad to be here!

IT"S ALIVE BWAHHHAHAHAHAAH!!!!


I Literally put gas in it and jumped it off of our beater Geo Tracker and it popped to life after a spritz of wd-40!

I rode it up and down the street and checked out all the gadgets. Its all there in working order except for the front brake.

Carb needs dipped badly and the carb boot is cracked. I'll bet thats going to be hard to find...

Thanks again for the kind words.

I have been looking through the gallery..Theres a ton of Biatchin bikes here!!!
