Like many of you, I at times experience an almost uncontrollable desire to click on a particular Web site in search of Stuff I Want. I'm referring, or course, to eBay Motors (www.ebaymotors.com).

The biggest obstacle for any dirtbike can be the family loan officer, but Kawasaki's KLX250S makes it easy. Fun comes later. Start with the practical, tangible spreadsheet benefits. You, selfless, sensible, high-minded spouse, are just looking out for everyone else. It's only $4799-emphasis on only.

For anyone smart enough to start small, Kawasaki's quarter-liter Ninja is the best choice because it's very nearly the only choice. While Euro-rookies take their pick of sporty tack, we're left with a 14,000-rpm twin that's been essentially unchanged since Ronald Reagan was president. That, however,

Kawasaki has made it abundantly clear that it intends to kick ass and take names in every segment of motorcycling. And the latest salvo in the Japanese firm's battle for supremacy is aimed at the naked literbike class, with an all-new version of its Z1000.

I was ready for a break when the phone rang. It was Jeff Herzog, senior media relations coordinator at Kawasaki, on the other end with three KLX250S dual-sports, one box van, and a question. "Ever been to southern Utah?" Call it premeditated collusion or a sympathetic twist of fate-it matters not. C

America is a BIG place, and we seem to like it that way. This emphasis on bigness may have started even before we became a country, when our ancestors left their cramped, constricted lands and rolled their reproductive dice on a huge, scary continent -- one th

Allen Millyard's first attempt at a burnout doesn't work. In what we hope was an isolated incident of "mad scientist gone tame," Millyard fails to feed the rear tire enough good ol' V-12 torque. Rather than engulf the scene in smoke and sweet music, the big Ka

IRVINE, Calif. (Nov. 14, 2003)--Bruce Stjernstrom, director of professional racing for Kawasaki Motors Corp., U.S.A., today announced the company's decision not to contest the 2004 AMA Superbike Series, and instead to concentrate on the Superstock and Superspo

ZX-10RKawasaki is at this stage in the game predictably evasive with regards to horsepower and weight figures, saying little more than that the ZX-10R will weigh less and make more horsepower than the 444 pound (wet), 152 rear wheel-horsepower '03 GSX-R1

THIS FIGHT'S BEEN A LONG time coming, and it has already been rehearsed on countless Internet forums, in hundreds of barrooms and on dozens of very secret streets, often late at night. In the grassroots dragracing community, spread all over this great country

At first, the 2003 Vulcan doesn't look all that far removed from the '02 bike. But after a couple of laps around its longer and lower streamlined perimeter, it's clear the VN1600 Classic inherits little from the VN1500 parts catalog. Basic engine architecture

Why do midsize sportbikes live under a 599cc ceiling when most live out their lives wearing license plates instead of number plates? Kawasaki has fresh answers for that question in the form of two all-new 600s. First, there's this 636cc ZX-6R for the masses, b

With its ZRX retro-sport looking a touch, well, retro these days, Kawasaki introduces the Z1000--a naked bike with the heart of a ZX-9R and a steel-tube skeleton with plenty of appropriately belligerent avant-garde style. Actually more scantily clad than buck

Kawasaki's big push for 2000 was sportbikes, so it's probably no surprise to see a shift in emphasis for 2001. This year, Kawasaki tackles the standards, which in Team Green's parlance are the Traditionals. Considered a new model (even though it's largely based on a current bike), the ZRX1200R is a

Three thousand dollars. If you're a starving college kid, it sounds like a lot, but in today's economy it's not actually a huge chunk of change. Certainly in the world of transportation, $3000 wouldn't buy you much. A clapped-out Camry, maybe, or a pickup pieced together from three or four derelicts

Bitter Little ManWow, my turn to write a column, just like a real motorcycle magazine editor. (Hi, Mom.) What shall I write about then? I had planned to tackle the thorny issue of motorcycle mirrors, but Marc Cook beat me to that last month. Gordon Jennings has me whipped when it comes to the scient

Better Them Than UsFor those of you who've ever wondered what magazines do when the idea well runs dry-the June 2000 issue of our cross-pond cousin, Performance Bikes, features a cover story entitled "How Low Can You Go?" or "a study of gravity-defying angles of lean and how to lob it trying."
