I picked this 2004 ZZR1200 up this spring and got a killer deal on it. It might not be a pure sport bike, but at the very least it would fall into the "seriously sporty touring bike" category. 160hp, 186mph at the top of 6th, 0-60 in less than 3 seconds, 0-100 in just over 6 seconds and it's pretty comfy. The huge bonus is that it gets 50-55mpg on the highway!

Early 1983 Kawasaki GPZ 750.
Needs carbs done, a battery, a seat, and a mirror. Pretty excited! I will take some better pics of it soon, I have the missing fairings in a box aswell.

That being said, 250 is enough to get yourself killed anyway.
So is 49cc's. But that would be embarrassing to die that way.Ben

Anyone have a suggestion for a Kawasaki forum?
Also I have a short list of what needs to be done to her.
-Acquire and install a seat.
-Acquire and install a mirror.
-New tires.
-Brake pads.
-Change out all the fluids.
-Get a jet kit for the carbs.
-Get missing throttle valve.
-Rebuild carbs with jet kit.
-Replace left lower fairing.
-Fork seals.
-Add late model coilover.
More as I come to it. Not in a rush, it is my first bike and I want to do it all right so progress will be slow.

Im thinking about getting a little CB125. $300 for a non running that has been sitting, or $550 or so for a minty running one.
hahahaha I just read the whole thread, and yeah I know you will laugh... flame suit on.
But I think a cafe 125 would be bitchin. I love thumpers.
