When I lived in NY I had a Kawasaki 650SX - it was mildly modified and pretty fast for what it was.  I used that machine for several years and loved every minute of it.  I would say it was probably the most fun I ever had on the water.  After many hours of use, I upgraded to a 1996 750 SXi twin carb model in 2001, and I sold the 650 SX..  I only rode the 750 once, and I ended up getting very busy with Scream And Fly and other projects, so the 750 just sat until I moved to Florida in 2003.  I still remember how fast that 750 was - it blew my 650 away in every aspect.  I really want to ride this machine again.

You would think that since I moved to the west coast of Florida with plenty of intercoastal and rivers here that I would have used the Jet Ski a lot.  Well, believe it or not, I never even uncovered it.  So it’s been sitting unused since 2001; crazy, right?  I remember that I properly winterized it prior to putting it away in New York, so the machine should start right up.  I gather you understand by this post that I suddenly have an interest in using this machine here, and that’s precisely what I am planning on doing.  I’m going to pull the dormant Kawasaki out of the garage this week and prep it for use.   I’ll post another update soon, but I’m looking forward to getting out on the water again.
