Last weekends Kawasaki Triple Club rally in Northern Ireland was absolutely brilliant, we had ride-outs to Bushmills Distillery, N.W 200 course, Joeys Bar and Armoy road races, here's the line up outside Joeys bar

Nothing remarkable there you might say....but amongst the stunning bikes and specials was one which will be of special interest to George

When we got back to Coleraine where the rally was based, I thought it would be rude not to have a quick blast

So after some instructions from my old mate Rog, the owner (gearbox is all up, clutch is locked but the bike is super smooth and very very torquey) I was prepared for take off

The bike is stunning and develops  128bhp at the wheel, it will pull from 1500 rpm in top, and believe me its is very, very fast

Hope you enjoy the pictures George, maybe as much as I enjoyed riding the bike  :clap:

I'm jealous Rog.  :mfr_lol:
It is an excellent machine.
128bhp? Jeez! That's a lot for a lightweight(-ish) stroker.
Thanks for the pics.
Any pics of the other bikes there?  :banana:  :banana:
