I'm not sure you're allowed to put a Yoshimura sticker on a Moriwaki bike (even if it does have a Suzuki oil cooled engine). It's like crossing the streams or something.

[lostboy]

Fuck, no.

[lostboy]

Fuck, no.

[weeksy]

is that like really no then .

[ogri]

At least i could ride that one without a back-ache

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

I like it, but I suspect that isn't a shock to anyone

Dave Solomon who built it has done quite a few Bandit engined bikes from this era

It's a Moriwaki badge

[Mr Moofo]

do you think he will get round to finishing it?

[demographic]

I think I'm fine with everything apart from the airbox filter setup.

Yeah so they put a Suzuki angine in a Kawasaki. Likely improved it over the old mill.

Plus if it offends purists its also a win.

You're not wrong.

In my defence it does look a lot like a typical Yoshi sticker tho'

[DefTrap]

30 years ago, I would have been a yeah.
But I saw a million of these in Streetfighter magazine and now I'm cured.

[MingtheMerciless]

Nope, its gopping.

A used Bandit 12 engine is cheaper than a set of pistons for the Kawasaki engine, it's also a nicer more powerful engine.

Personally rather than have that huge gap behind the engine I'd move the swing arm pivot forward

[Skub]

I bet myself the cheese would like this one.

*smug*

I don't mind it. The bandit is kinda token Kawasaki anyway,so that's ok.

[Taipan]

Every fucking branch and then hit the ground and bounced back up for a second go!
