What state are you in, and how far are you willing to drive?
I'm in Va, and that isn't a hard thing to find here around that price.

Crazy old bike prices.....

You'd think they would allow that wheeli control on the modern bikes to be adjustable so you can take it up to 30 or 45-deg if you wanted? I know my bmw has some sort of inclinometer built in for tip overs and other situations, it knows what angle the bike is at in one plane.
Nah, I don't want or need nannies either.
I get a kick out of the KTRC, Kawasaki’s traction control setup on my Z900RS. I can choose Off or level one or two. Level two (casually) allows the front wheel to rise up about a foot or so with no fear of going any higher regardless of throttle input.
Just the other day on the Busa I pulled into traffic and misjudged the speed of the oncoming car so I gassed it a tad more and voila, the front wheel came up nicely. It did surprise me but with as many miles as I have riding it I kept the throttle up and dropped the wheel when I reached the speed I wanted, by shifting up. Very nice touchdown.

About 25 years ago... One night I got the brilliant idea to take the muffler off my ZX-11 and go for a short ride to a semi rural straight as an arrow road. Not sure which exhaust was on it... all I remember is that is was a 4 into one system. Once I was able to determine that no trouble was around that might frown on 11,500 rpm gear shifts in the dark I cut loose with at least 3 runs through the gears and returned home with no issues. Harleys have nothing over inline four cylinder engines in the sound department and yet it's the Harley guys I see most often with straight pipes and no mufflers.
Lol, yep
Years ago I removed all the packing from the muffler on my full ss Muzzy on my '94 zx7...my Dad said he could still hear me over 3 miles away.
The tone was great...the volume was awful.
I repacked the muffler a couple days after.
I still see/hear several 4 cylinder sportbikes around with an autoparts store exhaust tip in place of a muffler, and can't understand how they can enjoy the ride with that much noise, lol
It's like those "fart can" pseudo tuner cars running around making noise and going nowhere fast (although the driver thinks he's on Need for Speed).
I followed an HD with the most obnoxious exhaust the other day and it wasn't tuned properly because there was a lot of raw fuel smell coming from it.....I couldn't wait until I was able to turn to get away from it because there was too much traffic to get by it.

Except for that extended front end that ol single carb 650 Beezer looks to be in pretty good shape.

Absolutely ridiculous sale price but imagine how those lucky enough to ride one in 1908 felt about the acceleration compared to anything on the road at the time. I know how I felt getting on a home built mini bike with a roto tiller motor (with no brakes) after just riding my bicycle. A Harley thumper in 1908 musta been a very big deal.

Hopefully this is not a repost.... On February 10, 2009, a new law called the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act went into effect. This law was created by Congress last August as a knee-jerk reaction to hazardous toys being imported from China (remember the Fisher-Price toy recalls). It...
old 1908 country back roads *
Two excellent classics, can't go wrong with either.
I saw a green 1990 ZX7RR for sale about 2 minutes from my house....it sat there all summer, the guy would push it out of his garage with a for sale sign on it each morning and put it away at night for the entire summer and it's still there....
Someone I knew was looking for an older bike and I told him about this one but he said it was too old as he was looking for something from the early 2000's....
This Kawi looks to be in really good shape too but the last thing I need is another bike when I barely ride the one I have now.
I would have like to seen that but it’s too far from me.

2001 ZX7R questions/advice | General Bike Related Topics
Since I know there are many gurus on this website... I went and looked at a 2001 ZX7R last night. He's asking 2200 OBO for it, and it has about 14.5k miles on it. Naturally when I got there I expected it to have no fairings and look like garbage....but it wasn't all that bad. The right side...
