Basic 1982 Kawasaki CSR 750 $900 Seattle

1982 Kawasaki KZ750 CSR $900 - Seattle (Capitol Hill)

“Unused and garaged from 1984 until 2004. 7269 miles. Reconditioned summer of 2005. Rebuilt carbs, new points, new front forks, new chain, new tires. Tuned again fall of 2006. Starter is tempermental… been having problems with it, so I haven’t been on the bike this year. Kickstart works fine. Also, small fuel leak under the carbs. Bike is overall in great shape. No rust. Straight, never down. Wife hates it, and I need cash, so away it goes. $900.”

…just like world peace, it warms my cockles to see decent everyday bikes for sale under one thousand bucks. Now, the KZ750 CSR is pretty much your bare bones motorcycle. Single disc brake up front, drum brake on the rear - no technological marvel even in its day. But it’s been unused for 20 years, it’s a blank canvas. Its carbs will need a looking-after, and if you’re unfamiliar with a kick start you’ll want the starter issue taken care of, but after that it looks like you’ll have a like-new cruiser.
