Friday Forum Forage: 1998 Kawasaki ZX-11
My apologies for returning so quickly to ZXForums, when we were just here two weeks ago. But this one knocked my socks off. The Kawasaki ZX-11 may have had more impact on some of our formative years than any other motorcycle. And this 1998 D model for sale in northern Arkansas (there’re a couple of nice roads there) appears to have been preserved in amber, right down to its shiny stock dual exhausts.
Yamaha MT-10 SP Project Bike – Update 1
It’s been about a month since we introduced Motorcycle.com’s 2022 Yamaha MT-10 SP semi-long-term project bike. In case you forgot the premise of this whole thing, Yamaha offered us the opportunity to hang on to an MT-10 SP for an extended period of time, and since I have a soft spot for the bike, I decided to give it some tasteful upgrades to address some key weaknesses while also unleashing some trapped potential. The point here is two-fold: first is to see what the bike could do with some simple upgrades. Second is to not break the bank while doing so because otherwise, you could easily go buy one of the European competitors that would probably still spank this MT, stock.

More than one signature means more than one pot into which fingers can be stuck… not a bad thing, but not a piece of cake to explain, either.

A heads up to anybody aboard their Katoom of choice: It sounds like Kraftfahrzeug Trunkenpolz Mattighofen will soon be playing around with composite leaf spring suspension on her motocross offerings.
Rumor Has It: An Up-Spec Norden is On the Way
