I saw this 1 for sale, a 1986 KX 500 in excellent condition, it only did a couple of runs.  8-)
Comes with the original kit: piston, gaskets,...

WOW,
what a showroom clean bike! It's truly amazing what treasures some people have in the corner of their garages that almost never got used....

The K5 is still for sale and bidding is up to $1500.
But for those who might be interested, the bike is located in Belgium.
It sure would be a good buy, but i can't convince my girl.
Too much 2-wheeled toys in the garage already, she says....  :x

Hi I have a 1986 kawasaki kx500. It is in very good shape. Almost as good as the one pictured. I only has about 50 original hours on it and it came with the title. It also came with an original kawasaki top end rebuild kit. I bought the bike for $500. Take a look at my pictures in the gallery. I will have to take some more.

I miss mine. I bought 1 in the crate back in 86, sure hated it when i first rode it, but that soon changed. With open bikes you cant take a week off, gotta keep riding it. I have to say its probably my favorite bike Ive owned...out of 20.

Wow, what an amazingly clean bike ! Ya just don't see many 24 year old bikes in that clean and original condition ! (let alone a 24 year old KX500 dirt bike )   Hope it goes to a good and caring new home !

Yes this is a nice bike I like seeing old bikes clean like this but I also like seeing them being used not just sitting there.
