I will be picking upa new kawasaki Jetmate for my next project ...
been wanting one for a while .. I knwo they are kind of funny looking and may not be to fast ..
anyways if anyone has one post some pics here .. and I would realy like some true demensions .. i want to save towing the trailer over the boarder ( plus its still burried in snow) and want to put the jetmate into the the back of my truck .. a Ford F150 6 1/2 box .. it would over hang about a foot past the tailgate ..no probs there but need to guestimate the fit width wise .. anyone ever put one in the back of a truck instead of trailer ?

stock speed is 28~30

with a 750, depending on the combo of impeller, pipe, carbs, etc, theyre 35~40

[blaster4life]

what should i expect to pay for one of these..... if your going to get a couch this is the ticket!!!

 

[sflsurfrider]

depending on condition, they can be $400~$4000.

also, this isnt a couch. its far more practical than a couch. not as fast, but way more fun.
