got smoked by this green 250 kawasaki, the guy said it was a 1987 kawasaki tecate 2 stroke atv, i later watched him barely edge out a raptor, what was this thing?

 

A ducati? Maybe it was a tecate. I have no clue what a ducati is.

 

Tecate4 250

very fast bike

a Ducati is an Italian streetbike

 

rare and very fast. The fastest 250 single of its day. It would put a whoopin on trx250r's and lt250r's and was as fast as a stock banshee.

 

I have an 88 tecate-4 and they are awsome. In 87 the claimed hp by kawasaki was 42. I think your z is under 25. My piped 250x is like 23 or 24.

 

And one heck of a street bike. They sound absolutely WICKED with a pipe. Just plain MEAN!!!! I love it!! Not to mention that they are hella fast!!! A Ducati and Buell are the only "streetbikes" I would own. But for now, I will stick with the crusiers[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

i love ducati's

Im not sure about hella fast,,,,,,but they sure are a great wheelie/corner bikes

only so much you can do with a v twin,,,and they have done it

 

i thought it was a mojave so i raced it, i could see 250 on the side of it

 

us italian's feel the need for speed in our cars to [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img]

 

tecate-4 is soooo much more quad than a mojave. i have had both ... tecate any day.
