Hey guys I was recently reading through the paper and came across a 1980 Kawasaki KV75. I relize this bike doesnt have near as many bolt on performance parts such as the 50s but I think this would be a fun little bike to ride around on in the pits between my races. So lemme know if u think this would be a cool little bike to have fun on, and has anybody ever seen people switching the dual shock setup in the back to single along, with putting some better front suspension, swingers etc. Do you think any of the crf50/crf70 parts would line up with alittle modifications.

If any of you guys dont know what one looks like, i will save u the trouble looking :

Also after looking closer at the frame I guess there isnt much strength, for any jumping with this stock frame...

Don't think it would work for MX riding....looks like it would be super cool for street/pit cruising though.

Looks extremely clean for a 25 year old bike.

Yeah...Hey how simular are the front brakes kits that u would buy for 50s, to mtb front brake kits, are they pretty close to the same thing.

Thats in really good condition for that year bike. Keep it mint like it is now, and it will be worth some money soon. lol.
