1986 Kawasaki 454 LTD review from United States of America
"Kick ass fast on a budget!"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
1986 454 LTD (en450)
My clutch blew out and needs to be fixed before I drive it any further.
Starts rough some times, but runs like a dream after that.
General comments?
An awsome small bike. Only a 454, and it can handle 2 riders and blow my brothers 600cc away like it was standing still.
A nice ride even though I am over 6 feet tall. Quick and comfortable, I would buy another Kawasaki since I bought this bike.
Two chrome pipes and a good look and sound. Good standard options like belt driven, liquid cooled, sissy bar, automatic turn signals (mercury sensors?).
