It has new grips and has 4540 miles showing on the odometer but only 5 miles on it. since. restoration. It has a brand new clutch. The rear shocks were cleaned and painted. It comes with the original Kawasaki tool bag and tools. It also has the original Kawasaki key.

 The individual starting and riding the bike is the bike owner. and as stated earlier. he has a motorcycle repair and restoration shop in Southern California.

Please do not ask me what the reserve price because I will not tell you and it is not fair to other potential buyers. But. I will tell you that it is very reasonably priced for a restored Kawasaki KE 175 in great condition.

The motorcycle will be sold as-is. with no warranties implied and it comes with a bill of sale only. Please check my EBay history – it is at 100% satisfaction for a reason and ninety five percent of my EBay sales are related to motorcycles. motorcycle parts or mini bikes. I have been riding. racing. restoring and collecting motorcycles for over 45 years.

I also have several transport contacts and can get this Kawasaki transported almost anywhere in the United States for much less than most motorcycle transporters and USHIP. I also have transported motorcycles to Australia and Europe and I have no issues selling to anyone out of the country. I know of several international transporters and will charge only $150 to get the bike to the transporter/logistics and fifty cents a mile both ways – you pay the transporter to get it over the ocean. but I will assist with the logistics and finding a shipper. I will also deliver this bike for fifty cents a mile. both ways. anywhere in Southern California.

As you can tell from the pictures. this is a great bike to have.   This bike is as close to how it came from the factory.   Please contact me with any questions or if you would like other pictures or ride the bike before auction end.
