Kawasaki Other description

Published almost everywhere,

It starts as a 1978 KZ650 where the cylinders have been bored and sleeved to 830cc with a MTC big bore kit from the late 70s.

The upper case has been machined as well.

This was a complete case split rebuilt documented with pictures (uploaded on my website)

The turbo kit is from ATP American Turbo Pak (ATP branded intake manifold, turbocharger RayJay F40 and exhaust manifold and pipe), just like the one that equipped the Kawasaki Z1R-TC back in 1978-79.

Needless to say these vintage big bore kits and ATP turbo kit are extremely rare to find. 


Some of the mods include but not limited to:

Dyna-s electronic ignition

Martek ignition coils 

Metzler Lasertec tires 

Forks with stiffer springs

Drilled front rotor

Rebuilt starter clutch

Battery Tender lithium battery

"Car like" ignition switch 

Painted long bucket headlight and bracket

New gold chain

LED tail, stop and blinkers 

Custom rear fender

Clip ons

Minimalistic controls

New master cylinder , brake hose and clutch lever assembly

New Kawasaki tank emblems 

New Custom Wiring harness

Custom Seat and seat pan (which opens up with the OEM key just like the original one, so you can store your docs or do maintenance to the battery and components)

Black enamel painted frame

Custom Paint job and pin striping by Rare Air Werx

Chrome is original (8/10)


Makes a blasting 100whp at 10psi currently set at a conservative 5psi

The original 650cc motor set up had half of this power at the wheel

2023 Kawasaki Elektrode First Look

Tue, 07 Jun 2022

Designed for kids ages 3 to 8 Kawasaki pulled the covers off its first ever electric vehicle, and as we expected, it is a new powered balance bike for young riders called the Elektrode. Designed for riders as young as three years of age, the Elektrode is positioned as an entry point for future motocross riders. The Elektrode is powered by a 250 W air-cooled, brushless motor mounted in the rear wheel.

Conquering the Nurgurgring In Under 8 Minutes + Gyro Cam Video!

Mon, 31 Mar 2014

With a nickname like The Green Hell, the Nurburgring Nordschleife is nearly 13 miles of terror wrapped up in a historic race track. Famous for its sheer length, close confines, and the fact it is open to the public most the year, the Nurburgring has a dual reputation as a great testing facility and a widow maker – certain reports estimate as many as 12 deaths a year here. To lap here in under 10 minutes is considered a fast lap.

Motorcycle Drifting, Part 2.

Fri, 13 Jan 2012

Today’s Friday Fun Video comes courtesy of the marketing department at Icon Motorsports. Following the success of their first motorcycle drift video, featuring Nick Brocha on a stretched Kawasaki ZX-10R scorching rubber with Jim Guthrie on a Corvette-powered Mazda RX7, the guys set out to one-up themselves. With this video, I think it’s safe to say “Mission Accomplished.” This time around, Brocha is joined by Ernie Vigil and they’re riding modified Triumph Speed Triples.
