If i remember rightly it was based on a Kawasaki KH 750 widow maker..

Those are the 750 2strokes with a bendy frame aren't they? I want one of those!

Hi

Think they are cylinders from a Kawasaki KH250. It was at one of the Stafford shows a couple of years ago. They tried to start it....

All the best

I think it needs a bit of a bigger tank or all it will last is a 20 second warm up and a quick rev to listen what it sounds like then your stuck trying to push it to the petrol station.

It would be SO funny if it just ripped the dyno in half and only stopped because it ran out of petrol...again!

Would it be possible to make a 500cc 2stroke V4 from 4x RS125 cylinders or similar?

That would be awesome! Twisted Evil

The thing has a 70cc engine under the seat just to start it! Bloody ridiculous machine, but indeed good engineering.

You would be in abit of bother if you were running rich and fouled all the spark plugs beyond repair. I would hate to work out the price.
