I would like to own two
Kept cutting out, although previous owner thought it was the carbs, it turned out to be the side stand kill switch, it just needed freeing off.
Excellent bike!!!

Super bike for the size, with plenty of power
Previous owner dropped it and scraped it up on the right side. They also broke the front headlight mount; still looking for that since they no longer carry it through the factory.
I found the bike at a used car dealer locally. I took it home had to have the tank boiled out at a local radiator shop, then had the carbs worked on since the bike had sat for sometime.
After running the bike for a couple of weeks, I had to take it back in so they could rework the carbs, because the float was sticking. Been running like a top since.

I have and owned a 1989 Kawasaki 454LTD (EN450 A5) since first purchased in around June 1989.
I am the original owner, over the past 3 years I had my bike overhauled (sorta deep cleaned and serviced, and some OG components replaced with new components), this was initiated after a vandalism and theft attempt of the bike from underground parking.
The bike runs better now, just like new with over 35K km's on bike. Over the years due to circumstances I have had to have bike sit for 2-3 years at a time, but the engine continues to rumble back to life.
