Hi all, Just wondered if anyone knows about the mentioned bike?
Reason I am asking is I can buy it (1979) for $500 and it runs good and no problems with it.
Anyone know anything about them? I think the engine is a Z1000! Phil.
 
All I know is that It is probably a J-model engine, and that is the head that a lot of the dragracers use.
 
That doesn't sound right. I'm sure the CSR's didn't come till at least "81". They were a slightly cheaper model of the LTD. The LTD's were a long & low style thru 1980. In "81" they went to a much taller front end, much like the "L" model Suzuki's, and that's when they started the CSR's. Unlike the LTD's, the CSR's had spoked wheels & I think a rear drum brake. All the 1000 Kaw. engines were the same, all the way thru the GPZ 1100's

It certainly looks like a Z1000 engine, Rear disc, 2 front disc's Alloy wheels with spokes, chain drive, with actual 25k on it.
I left a deposit but someone else might buy it from under me before I pay the full amount. Phil.
 
If I remember right, wasn't the CSR's the "cheap" bike? Spokes instead of mags, etc.? The CSR 305 was a twin, the CSR 650 was a twin, CSR 750 was a twin...

Basic transportation...not that it is bad, just basic.

Yeah! I agree, but for $500 and it runs great, thats a pretty good deal! as I bought my GS for $750 and spent $3000 on it to get it right, Money well spent.
 
Naw Kenny, The all the 650 Kaws were 4 cyl & the 750 twins went out about "77". All the CSR's from 550 up were 4 cyl.
 
Please let me apologize, especially to KennyJ. There is an "82" 750 CSR on e-bay right now, and it is a twin cylinder. I guess I don't remember as much about them as I thought I did. As my brain gets older & older, I guess I can expect to remember less & less.
 
hopefully i'll see the bike in my mirrors and not the police car! 8O
 
Hey Phil, check out oldkawman.com for some Kawasaki performance info. He looks like a criminal in his photos, but the info is well written and he has lots of parts. Nice looking bike for $500.
