Reader Ride! Kawasaki Zephyr 550. One of my Favorites!
I've always had a soft spot for the Kawasaki Zephyr line of bikes. A very refined version of the original Z and KZ line.

Hi, been a fan of your page for the last couple of months. Thought I'd send in a few pics of my Zephyr 550 project bike. Started out as a homely old craigslist find that I learned to ride on. Project originally intended to just be a fork rebuild and new chain then tuned out to what you see here. I had a lot fun picking everything out, but I could have never anticipated the amount of admiration this little thing gets. Keep up the good work on your page!
Thanks Zach!
The before Pic!

I admit that I don't know much at all about these bikes or this class of racing. I think it a wicked little number though. It's like featherweight Industrial Art. Go to the end and turn left! And it's FOR SALE!

I love this bike and I might include it on my "midlife crisis - must own" list except that when I sat on it the handlebars were so far away that I could barely see them. This bike is a serious reach. Probably worth the pain though just for the pleasure of looking at it.
