Would you ride it?

[MacGyver]

2 Stroke 800cc shoehorned into a zzr1200. Hmm.... Would you ride it?  Hell, let alone buy it?

doesn't even look like the frame has been rewelded

[JamesG]

Its an interesting concept even thought the execution is a "bit" redneck...

I'd say... no.

[Justin]

800cc two-stroke.. that would be brutal. I'd ride it (assuming the workmanship was good) - would not own it.

[Giaka]

Yes  

[falcofred]

Seriously?
Stock 2003 Kawasaki ZZR1200
Transmission: 2004 “STD” HD 5spd Softail with custom mounting plate, relocated drain, vent and fill points
Weight: approx. 525 lb dry
Performance: +100 RWHP on dyno, Top speed:150-170mph

Just what I want is a 03 ZZR1200 that is heavy, has lost one gear in the tranny, and only has 100 HP

[Fourstring]

Of the criticism for the ZZR I've heard, lack of a motor is not one.

[Giaka]

2-stroke ownership... I've done my time. NO thank you.

Didn't say I would own it, I did say I would ride it though. I will ride pretty much anything once.

Note: Successful bidder agrees to execute a mutually acceptable Agreement of Sale prior to transfer of title to buyer


I guess that proviso will include a statement that it is not the sellers fault if it blows up and kills the new owner.

I would ride it.

Seems to me this project would have been better suited with a Cafe Racer type bike.....

It had plastic so therefore it was a crotch rocket. Just like my B12S and Breva Sport.

I'd prefer a CR500 engine in a GL1800 chassis. Seems a better fit.

That motor has a power band of a Rottweiler. Wide open.

[Max Wedge]

Nice diamond-plate trim.  

[MacGyver]

Im surprised no one noticed that it is pull start!!

I was going to say somthing about that but didn't.

[Castaway]

All that work and 700 miles on it was enough. I appreciate the effort still.

[MacGyver]

The wife probably called it gone when the washing machine died from too much fecal matter being run through  it.

[Tpoppa]

Did he run over a baby seal?  What?  That's the exhaust?

Hey, my first bike had pull start, it was 1969 Cat Eliminator Mini Bike with a 4 HP Techumseh Engine.

[Bad Dad]

I'd ride it, I've been looking for a two stroke street bike. Now the Tularis......that was a snowmobile powered bike done right!

Here it is in action.

[Big D]

I'd ride it, not sure why I would want to though. I have two bikes that make an assload more power than that, the ZX weighs about the same, the Bandit weighs quite a bit less. I thought the point of a 2 stroke was good power in a lightweight package....

[oldenslow]

Sure, I'd ride it, why not?  Then I would ask:  "what was the point of this?"

Not much action...  


I think the ZZR had 155hp (claimed) stock (at the crank?)... I hope he didn't pull that out to put in a "100+ hp" 2-smoke unless the factory motor was toast.  And how did he lose so much of the bike and still end up over 500 lbs dry?!!?
