This is pretty clever...

Very clever but no one would buy it for the price.
So the man has taken a valuable bike and made it worth quite a lot less valuable.
I wonder where you could get it insured ?

Looks reasonably well executed, butI think as Geoff suggests would have been a lot more desirable left as standard.

Be very surprised if he gets asking price.

Who needs a signature anyway......

Your not wrong. Interesting approach though, disguising it that way. Not my thing.

At least it's consistently like every other EV made .... impractical, overpriced, short-lived. So there's some comfort in that.

Apart from the hell of doing it, I see absolutely no gain whatsoever.

Re: Electric Kawasaki

Oh, there are many advantages to EVs.

1) They're Green.
2) They're Cool.
3) They're tragically hip.
4) They signal Virtue.
5) They're babe magnets.

I'm sure there are other reasons.

Babe magnet is good enough for me!

Re: Electric Kawasaki

The motor will also generate eddy currents that will sterilise yer balls too. Maybe cook em up

Re: Electric Kawasaki

That brings back memories Geoff, we used to call the auto electrician at work Eddy current.

Not Professor, it was Doc

Looks like a wind up to me, why would you mutilate such a well restored & valuable bike, giving it moped performance. How would you fit an electric motor in the engine? Mans a pillock

There are plenty of once-nice bikes on eBay that have had a makeover by similar pillocks.

How to turn a practical motorcycle into something with less range and not much more performance than my push bike. Wow

You don't have to be crazy to post here, but it helps....

Might I suggest the 'vendor' is cleverly advertising his expensive second hand watch business

On the subject of electric Kawasaki motorcycles, there was a large capacity Kawasaki Hybrid at the NEC last week. It was suggested that it would be available in 2023. I didn't bother to take a picture...silly me.

Other opinions may be available but this one is always correct.
