KZ750 vs late Sport bikes at Track Day
05 Aug 2008 06:29Running on 7 year old BT45 tires against new and late model sport bikes.
The key is, the rider has been racing for 28 years and he's riding in the beginners class

The KZ750 is his old beater bike that he keeps around to ride when nothing else is running.
In the final frame there is a shot of the bike on the trailer, you have to pause the video to get a good look at it.
There are four other videos of the same Track Day listed.

That was pretty cool...
Actually VERY cool!
It looked like the camera mount was a cardboard box duct taped to the gas tank! What ever works!

Nice find Steell; it made me switch bikes back to my KZ750. I am really happy to hear the motor rev up and not some music. Any details on the bike, mod wise?

I don't believe any mods were done to the motor, that's not his race bike, that's just a spare he keeps around to ride when the others are broken 
The guy riding the bike is a member of the GPz750 mailing list and posted the links there, so I received the links in my e-mail
