I'd jump all over that 10 if it were me. Awesome motorcycle :)

And... for those interested, ALL the ZX 4 valve Kawasaki big bore motors have the potential to take out the crank if they're pushed too hard, too often. That doesn't make them junk. It's just a weak point that shows up racing.

That's a good piece of advice.

BTW I think you should jump on it.

When you make a KZ pull on the bottom like a bone stock 1000 Eliminator....then you've accomplished something ;)
