It's an L
I was looking for something for my daughters. Vintage but decent looking. One daughter has a license already and the other is looking to get it this year and has some training. It's a 1982 Kawasaki 550 LTD, but I already swapped the silly pull back bars for Superbike bars with 1.5" risers I had kicking around. I had to mickey mouse the front signals for now away from the hbars because of lack of space to mount. I'm doing the once over safety and maintenance stuff but I've road tested it a few miles already. Really not much of a project but rather bringing it up to road worthiness. Cool little to mid size bike with good pep. The center stand scrapes on hard leans and restricts me some in the corners but the girls should be ok at their skill level now. It's light and has a low seat good for my 5'4" and 5'6" daughters.

I'm sure you got a great deal on that . I rather enjoy riding the little 4 cylinders. They love to rev... Well at the least the GS's do! Like to take both of the bikes for a go if permissible at our next meet!Jedz Moto

NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.
I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

Another test ride after adjusting clutch, cleaning up front caliper, adjusting idle and suspension, oil change and a few other things before turning my daughters loose on it. Fun bike for back roads.
