Very impressive engineering and you rode it too!

Cutting edge stuff.
Congratulations

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:

That is when they are done badly- Euros know what they are doing on streetfighters- and one of the most beautiful KZs I have ever seen is the NOSferatu 750 turbo that is on Lorc's site. It is a true streetfighter to the core as well- it represents all the best of the style.

Cafe and streetfighter styles can be blended quite nicely BTW

Great stuff Lorcan! Congrats to you and the Pop's.

Thanks for all the kind words guys, I'll be sure to pass them on to dad too . I've just sold my business and I'm moving to another part of the UK soon (closer to the racetracks of course!) but when I'm settled I have some really cool ideas for the bike to make it faster and prettier (for Nads). Got to keep ahead of the old man! :whistle:

Oops, both our leather suits come from Scott leathers.

I still have my 904 engine and plan to install it in my streetbike over the winter. The block was originally made for someone else with a KZ650, but the purchaser never collected it from the manufacturer so I picked it up cheap (relatively), installed 1100 sleeves and bought 73mm forged pistons to suit. My alky motor was last run as a 760cc using a 738 block resleeved (thicker) and bored 1mm bigger using RC Eng turbo pistons originally destined for a CBX1000 Honda. In that format it ran 8.69 @ 162mph. It has big alloy rods, a re-cut speeded-up gearbox and lots of other goodies. I'm going to keep my current turbo system but add a Dynapro V500 ECU and 3 stages of nitrous using 2 solenoids. Here's the block. It's main purpose is to allow large capacity while adding support for the sleeves and also support the crankcases to help prevent them flexing under high loads.
