i got everything buttoned up and was able to do a real ride. the feel of the chassis and suspension are awesome, probly alittle better than honda steely.....the seat is definatly more comfortable than hondas. i wanted to see how the jetting would react to this high elevation, so i just left it stock. it seemed alittle lazy when you blipped the throttle but other wise wasnt too terribly bad, but ill probly lean all the circuits out alittle next time i ride it. as for the power..... feels just like a 250 but with 185 extra cc's , not alot on the bottom end (compared to a 500) but it comes to life real fast in the mid range and rips on top. once i get the jetting closer im sure it will run even better but it still wont have the torque of a 500 probly because the stroke is so short. over all its a cool bike

I wouldn't be complaining about that.

been messing with this one for a while, was in pretty bad shape when i got it. you could say i rescued it from a miserable fate at the hands of a total retard. broken bolts in clutch hub, brake pads wore to the metal, waterpump impeller and shaft fucked up, sand in every bearing, sprockets had missing teeth. just have to put a few bits back on now, should be riding it next weekend

LOL, sold which bike? Shit, man, I sold 3 bikes! But not for the kawi, for the down payment on my house also sold my stealth and ebayed spare parts and shit like crazy.
I love the kawi, I put a scotts stabilizer on it about a month ago, so fucking nice!
What can I say, I'm just faster and more comfortable on it
