Lovely piece of engineering but one question..where does Kork live? It looks and sounds like oz :-\ a good friend of mine has a nice autographed pic from when he was world 350 champ (I think) he's on a 350 kwack anyways 8)

Kork and his collection have lived on the Gold Coast for quite a few years

A beautiful piece of engineering and Kirk's comments, those that I could hear, were interesting. Especially that it made good power, as good or better than Honda, Suzuki and Yamaha, but weighed 25kg too much. I wonder why Kawa didn't further develop the beast ???. It obviously had potential. 25kg couldn't be that hard to lose ::)
But it sounded crap - at least at the low rpm he demonstrated. Kirk seemed a bit reluctant to 'give it the berries'. Pistons and mechanical must be non-NOS and hard to come by ::) ;D
Thanks for posting Lozza. Thanks to Kirk for the vid. :) ;)

;D ;D ;D ;D
Graeme it's KORK not typo
;D ;D ;D
I think being a side spinner helped with power delivery which negated the weight penalty a bit.
