The engine, originally a 750cc unit, has been bored to 800cc, paired with Mikuni TM34 carbs and a trio of self-made pipes calculated to match the powerplant. The forks are from a Ducati, the swingarm from a Honda NC30, and the seat and tank can be adjusted to fit the rider’s needs.

The tank looks like a real bollock muncher... :shock:

I like everything about it!
I like everything except the "Deltabox II" sticker....unless that shape R1 really does have Deltabox II frame? I which case I take it back :D

EDIT: I'm guessing it's not actually EXUP either?

Its the KR500 Derek Badger posted pics of 2 posts up

That was Kawasaki's attempt at a 2 stroke GP bike. Sadly too heavy to beat the RG500 but Kork Ballington had a bloody good try.
He could ride a bit! Twice 250 & 350cc World Champ. He got a few podiums on the 500.
