A little RSBFS history from Marty, “Back in the 1990’s a rule change made it so that racing bikes had to be based on bikes available to the public. This change was known as the “homologation rule” and it meant that suddenly regular riders were able to get their hands on street legal machines that really did have track oriented components. The new requirement would perhaps have its most drastic result on the 750cc market segment, as seen in the Suzuki GSX-750R, Kawasaki ZX7/ZX7R and for those with a bit more cash, the Yamaha OW01.”
Reading through Wikipedia, I confirmed that this is the second to last year of this model. From 1996-2003 Kawasaki made some upgrades, “This model year was a large update to the 750cc Kawasaki, receiving an entirely new engine and dual Ram-air inlets. The engine has a bore of 73mm and a stroke of 44.7mm. The rocker-arm style cam followers of previous years was replaced with a direct actuation bucket style, reducing valve-train inertia and allowing for higher engine RPM. The throttle pulley was moved from the far right side of the engine to the middle, reducing free play in the throttle butterflies in an effort to stabilize idle RPM. The cylinder head received a wider, 25 degree valve angle compared to the previous years 20 degrees. The larger cylinder bore necessitated the move to a closed deck cylinder, and the cylinder head received oiling and cooling improvements. The exhaust header was updated to be a 4-2-1 style instead of the previous year’s 4–1.[15] This engine produced 123 crankshaft horsepower.
The chassis was updated with a stiffer frame and larger 43mm forks with added adjustment for rebound. The rear shock also gained additional adjustability with 20 way compression adjustment and 4 way rebound adjustment. Braking was improved with new 6-piston Tokiko front calipers.[15]Total dry weight was 448 lbs (203 kg).”
Good luck to the buyer and seller!
Here’s my plan.
phase 1: Buy this bike. Strip off rhe street bits, and put on track bodiwork. (That way, no registration, no insurance, no stae safety inspection) track only bike. Next painnt and vinyl wrap it into a nicky hayden replica, right down to the woody woodpecker stickers.
phase 2: buy a 2002 rc 45. Repeat above with kawi green and purple Muzzy livery.
phase 3: trackdays.
JK, if my life had been planned appropriately, maybe phase 1 or 2 but certainly not both. But yeah, if that weren’t any issue, thats how I’d roll that…
Sorry meant rc51. Could you tell i was rolling something else?…
@Michael Have you ever done a vinyl wrap on a motorcycle? Curious to hear if you do it in parts, like emblem stickers or stripes on top of the paint, or if you wrap the whole tank/whole parts… I’m not experienced with the vinyl wrap but it seems to have many applications.
