Thought you'd like to see our new dragbike nearing completion. It would be a bit of a stretch to call it a KZ, but it does have the KZ stud pattern and cam chain, albeit with Yamaha valve gear on top of a 16 valve billet head. Unfortunately nothing else is traceable to Kawasaki in any way :lol:

Built by Barry Eastman and Mick Hand, with help from Ag McPhail and others. Puma 1500cc top fuel motor with two turbos in series and charge cooling between each stage. 3 speed Bentec planetary geabox, 16 x EFI injectors with Motec M800 ECU and NLR AMS1000 boost control, 100+psi boost, 1000hp+.

It needs wiring and bodywork but will be out later this year. Enjoy :)

Awesome! :woohoo:

Can I borrow that to renew my motorcycle license? I guess the figure 8 test might be rough. ;)

I wonder if that can go 140 MPH. I bet you it can't beat that 140 MPH KZ650 on Ebay.

211 was not fast enough for you?

but now i think we all need a video of it on the dyno.
( along with the gpz again)

someday i will be able to afford my kz habit.
