1986 Kawasaki 454 LTD review from Puerto Rico
"A little-big baby"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Definitely the cables: Clutch, speedometer, tachometer. Now are fine.
Suspension has to be fixed.
General comments?
I bought this little-big baby 2 years ago. And I love it. Smooth ride, enough power, low gas consumption, 6-speed transmission, great sound, automatic signal lights. Wow, a lot of gadgets for that small piece of art of 1986.
This little baby was found in a backyard with rust, no tires, and many loose parts. With love and patience, the 454 is my joy and my pride. And it looks great!
