2talltim Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 How-D ! and welcome. I know a guy that has a barn find KZ650(I think it is) that he'd sell cheap if you want another project. I think he said like $350 or something like that. It needs a lot of tlc but it's all there, you never know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeavyDuty Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 Welcome Just wondering are white socks still popular out that way? :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm right down the road from the OP now. No street bike at the moment. My next streetable bike will have to be something I can also race in F1/Supermoto with OMRL, but I'm too cheap to buy one, and would have to clean out our shed to store it I do like the 454 though. From a historic perspective, it's a cool part of the Ninja 900 development - basically half of that engine, and then later bored to 498 for the EX500 (my first bike).

redkow97 Posted March 10, 2016 Report Share Posted March 10, 2016 I guess i assumed that was an old people thing, not a parma thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in HeavyDuty's day Parma wasn't stereotyped as the same thing it is today. It was stereotyped as old people, primarily polish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put this gauge on my cb750 project bike. Koso makes pretty solid high quality stuff, I'm happy with it. http://kosonorthamerica.com/product/tnt-01/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
