Thanks mate thats sooooo horny ;D i have a pair of those KYB air shocks ;)
-
Still a fukc ugley tank from any angle
-
Freaky you are a Philstine :D
-
That is a very cool bike but i don't think the one in the top photo is the same bike as the other pictured.
The top one looks like a nice copy of a SR works bike, it has a banana swingarm, moved up shocks and hand made cone pipe that the other bike doesn't have.
Could it be the work of HOLLY EQUIP?
And the tank looks great!
-
Shit that is unreal!
Gee you don't miss a thing johnny!
And Freaky...your taste is in your ass :D
-
Were there any Twinshock SRs at farleigh lads ?
-
Beautiful bike. Kawasaki sure know the art of the craft. Something about Kawasaki that approaches the Italians in getting the balance right between form and function- and beauty.
I know that beauty is in the eye etc- but WTF Freaky, that tank is horn!
-
I didn't see any twinshocks Bill, but there were 2 or 3 single shock works Kawi's and at least 1 of them was racing!
-
Cool 8) You blokes must have some pics of bikes from Farliegh to rival that SR for bike of 2010 :)

Thought so.. he's got some really cool stuff. I've been looking at replica Mugen pipes and airboxes he has for sale.

I'll get pickky now...top bike the tank looks home made....too many triangles welded together,rear brake rod looks std....works bike would have had alloy torque arm.... exhaust on most works bikes where hydro-formed or a combination of hydro/ cones and the alloy muffler looks like a nightmare racing repro that he has just done....muffler stays on R/H side whereas the other bike it crosses over like a std A4/5.....theres a mixture of A5 lower fork protector and modern top gaiter.....the picture of the forks/ shocks...forks look works but have been "restored" poorly....the tripples look "worksy", but hey, a good painter can do that....but wait theres more...nah, just kidding...there are some "works" parts there but how much?....fakes? or some enterprising restoration?....for what it's worth, I think the top ones a "works" bike but is missing alot of works parts. ;) ;D.....put the knife down Bill....its not worth it...now do I get to ride "green" at Taupo?.....there both cool bikes.

-

-

Comes back to the old tradesman thing doesnt it?....thats alot of money for a fibreglass tank....for that sort of money I would expect an alloy tank....and I know people who could do that...shit, if you have the real deal to copy why wouldnt you do it properly....unskilled homo's.....thats what they are!!....stooge's....where's my chainsaw....
-
....unskilled homo's.....thats what they are!!....stooge's....where's my chainsaw....
Actually the SR250 that tank was moulded off is the same SR250 as in my photos. Holly does awesome work and I know him personally ....definitely not unskilled or homo.

I nearly hit the buy now till i realised it was fibre glass :o Yuk its like silicone tits it looks good but it ain't real ;)

From memory the Kawasaki works tanks of the time were Fibreglass, so he probably thinks it is correct to reproduce them that way.
But your right, and alloy version would be so much sweeter…

What CC's the indian, does it have ducati electrics...

The first Pic of the SR (or replica SR ) that Marc has posted is very simillar to the KX 250 Brad lackey is riding in his book motocross techniques , training & tactics by Brad Lackey and Len Weed.
Those of you that have a copy check out pages 68, 69, 80 , 81, 108 & 109 , the bike has the Bannana swinging arm and the muffler exiting the RHS .
Tank and seat appear to be std A5 items and side panels are A4 i cant make out the forks
Pages 66 & 67 brads riding a std A5 , maybe the other bike is a pre production A5 ???
-
And for those who have the Jim Gianatsis moto Cross fox guide to preparing the RM and PE Suzuki for competition book (yellow cover with Pat Richter on the cover )
Have a look on page 37 at the Jammers bike, it bears a striking resembelence to Marcs bike but with a different swinging arm ???
