Dissect this bike- Yoshimura race bike

Isn't it sitting inside of an opened spiral notebook? Thats what I tried too say but Didnt come out of this thick skull

You guys might be right about the model thing. I keep looking at those brake rotors thinking something is off. They're too perfectly smooth...like never been used.

Just an aside, but yes Josh, they did offer 18" enkeis with a drum brake. I have one on my 650.

And look how cheap the fuel cap looks.

I believe the race bikes used Morris wheels, which Enkei then copied and Kawasaki installed on the stock bikes starting with some 76 models.

This is all I found when I went searching:

And they're out your way Mark!

Thanks to those with better eyesight than me pointing out that this a model - thought something was a little off on this bike. Pops used to gut the 4-4 pipes for the earliest of Open Production / Superbike but the pipes were bent higher and in closer to the bike for clearance and the paint job is very close but not exactly like one Yosh Z1 I saw & remember. Various riders had a go - Cooley,my fellow Canuck Yvon Duhamel,Steve McLauglin and that's Keith Code on the Yosh catalogue cover. The original Yosh superbikes were stock displacement 903 but they also had 944 and 1001cc. offerings. I had a set of 1001cc. pistons with Road & Track cams in a 75 Z1 and later on we used to buy used 1024cc.Yosh 2 ring slipper pistons from the Superbike guys to run in fast streetbikes.

I'll have to through the archives to see if I have any more info./Pics.

you are a wealth of information jack.
