Festival of a thousand bikes

We came across this on the Saturday at the Lower Lode Inn, even I quite like the look of this.

Very nice, but not a real Kawasaki.
The motor is a Zook (GSXR1000 from the look of it).
I have a pic somewhere at home of a Z900 that was done "proper".
Ally frame, bored, balanced and tuned original motor, monoshock rear, ZZR front forks and the whole thing just looked right.

why would anyone put a suzuki engine in a kawasaki , no probelm with chopping it and modding it if thats your bag , but not someone else engine ??

cos a GSX 1100 engine is way more powerful than a 903cc Kwak (and is doesn't look wrong either)

Probably for the same reason as some put Triumph engines in a Norton Frame...in their mind its the 'best of both worlds'

I had a brief look last night but can't find the image.
However, i did find a pic of a similar one online.



Now THAT is how a Z900 should look.
This one is from Western Australia.
I'll keep looking.
