Lorcan your bike is very ugly. But I do admire it's power, nothing wrong with that at all. Just my opinion. And of course, I realize to make it fast it has to look different to be safe. The bike looks nice from the front.

I don't think it's ugly at all. Form follows function, and that bike functions very well. It's all business.

Lorcan,

The article is great....the bikes are a shining example of excellent craftmanship...their performance speaks volumes about the effort put into them....BUT....the father / son deal is absolutely the icing on the cake!

Congrats to both of you! You're a cople of lucky guys to have what you do!

Indeed!!!

And in admiration of Lorc's achievements I hereby award him the "Golden Tyre Pressure Gauge Award"!! :evil:


Don't stop now Lorc, 225 is just around the corner! :)

Has there ever been a faster Father Son duo in the history of Motorcycle Land speed racing?
Maybe it would be of interest to the
Guinness people ??

What!!!!:ohmy: :ohmy: :blink: :blink: Ugly?? That bike is beautiful! I love the long and low look. Drag racing is what put the KZ series on the map. It sure wasn't their handling. I realize it's just a matter of personal opinion but the drag style sure beats those hacked up chopper things that litter the highways.

OK, I feel better now;)

Pictures won't load for me, but the bike is impressive for sure although the word streetfighter= utter garbage in my vocabulary. Look at the "streetfighter" pictures guys have submitted to KZrider and get a quick stomach wrenching idea of what "streetfighter" normally means.:sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick: :sick:

321,000 miles on KZ's that I can remember. Not going to see any more.
