Sold the Kawasaki after I got it fixed and focused on fast cars. But after I'd been married a few years and the price of gas skyrocketed to over 50Cents a gallon! I decided an Economical "Work" ride was in order. The wife approved, and I purchase a 1986 Suzuki 700cc Intruder. Stayed with the small motor to beat the insurance premiums of the larger bike motors.
I rode the heck out of this thing and got into a little trouble with it too. Mostly giving rides to a girl I should have stayed away from! Nuff about that!
This thing fit the need, but was way too small for long rides which I did anyway and paid dearly for, and NOT comfortable for the lady at all!
It was water cooled, and the coolant turned to black sludge in less that a regular riding season, had to flush coolant twice a year!
Here's a good shot of this ride
It treated me good, got me lucky a few dozen, ok hundred times, and sold it with 2 helmets and cover for what I paid for the bike new.
