swingset Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 I had a '86, ran the piss out of it. Great little bikes, really, durable and fun to buzz around on. I enjoyed mine a lot for what it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 I had an '82 KZ550LTD for my first street ride, after I geared it waaaay up it would still hit 100 and kill most 750's the first 500ft Of course mine was I-4 vs. your I-2 so power was much better to begin with.Nice find man! Cafe that bitch and make it unique!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Helmutt Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 my 550LTD was an 81...bad ass bike for a 9 yr old.Especially after a Kerker 4-1 meg, stage one kit, pod filters, and 6 up on the rear - ran awesome, but a lot of shifting. If I remember right, your '81 actually had a factory headlamp on/off switch whereas they did away with that feature on '82's. Had a buddy with an '81 440LTD that could go stealthy after somehow tapping his rear lamp power into the headlamp circuit Not that a 440 "needed" to be stealthy for any particular reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottb Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 MY 82 GS 850 has a gear indicator and a fuel gauge...... now i am spoiled with those "fancy" options Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBrown57 Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Looked a 440LTDs before getting my 454, 2 completely different bikes. My GF is selling her first bike, 82 Suzuki gs300l and that thing had trouble going 60 with my fat ass on it It does have the fancy gear indicator though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICEMAN Posted July 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 my GS has a headlight on/off also. kinda weird it has a few more options than my R6, like the gear indicator and headlight on/off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
