First off,
What year is the bike at the top of this page? I can see that its a 900 but is it a KZ or LTD or what? I cant make out what it says underneath the 900... Whatever it is, its damn sure pretty
Secondly,
I havent been able to find out much about the EN454 LTD, specifically the '85 model - theyres one for sale cheap in town but I cant find much info on it, anyone here had experience with em?

KZJerry...the little lettering beneath the '900' says "Double Overhead Camshaft" and I also cannot help you with the 454...never met anyone who owned one...apparently it was a success for Kawasaki as they made them for 5 years (1985-90)..a belt-drive cruiser style twin.

Is'nt that an awesome bike up top.
not even a spec of dirt under the rear mudguard. The owner is no name from Germany and he has some nice photos in the gallery. Says it's a 73 Z1 900 restored. Click members and search for no name.

A friend had a 454 for a few years. He loved it. I never got to ride it, but the local Kaw mechanic said they where bullet proof (it is a Kaw after all) and tended to all of the maintanance for the owner. I've heard that they are very prone to lifting the front wheel under spirited take-offs.
