Description

Additional photos of this Kawasaki KSR 80 are available here for your perusal.

Kawasaki launched the KSR 80 as a rider-friendly runabout for getting around town. The mini motard packed an 80cc two-stroke, water-cooled engine paired with a 6-speed transmission.

With numbers like that, it was no surprise it became a local classic, coveted for reasons other than its original intention . With the 12 inch wheels and modern brake rotors, the KSR was just as capable on-road as it was in closed course use. The bike was said to achieve speeds close to 70 mph — a figure made all the more thrilling thanks to the low chassis weight and two-stroke power plant.

This example is VIN: MX080R022861. We believe (but cannot 100% confirm) that this is a 1996 model.

There is no odometer, so true mileage is unknown.

Maintenance:
In preparation for the listing, we cleaned the carb, flushed the hydraulic fluid, coolant, and oil, serviced the chain, and replaced the kick starter pivot boss. Olly did the work, he notes the following in his condition report:

Tire % Front/ Rear: 75/75
Brake % Front/ Rear: 65/30
Hydraulic: NEW

Low Beam: N/A

Olly also thoroughly enjoyed this bike on his test ride, though he notes that there is some play in the steering head bearings and that the clutch is starting to slip:
