Kawi has come out with a Ninja 300. Full on for no other reason than to give Honda the middle finger. You see, for just about forever Kawi has done the Ninja 250. Really the only 250CC Class Option for a Sport Bike for the last few Eons. Then recently Honda rolled out a CBR …
The Bike of the Week this time around is the Kawasaki ZX10R. Another one from The Big Green. Unlike my ZX11, which is aimed for “Sport Touring”, the ZX10R is pure sport. The differences are in Rider Position, Engine Tuning, and Suspension geometry and settings. It’s a completely different animal. Like a Ford Escort is …

You see them around town, passing through, usually overloaded with gear and stuff… going on Adventures… making me think about where they …
I think if I had my pick of motorcycles… Say, that Nigerian Prince gives me that 32 Million Dollars he’s been promising for the last decade… I think I’d take a New 2012 Kawasaki Concourse 14. At least, I’d take it now at this moment. Of course come time to buy. I’d probably take home …
Saturday I unexpectedly made a deal with a family to sell my beloved Honda Magna. The day before, I was having lunch with my Bride and we talked bikes. I decided to just keep the Magna and tweak it to better suit my needs. Seat, tank, pipes. Simple enough. Then after lunch on Saturday some …
