Another Ex-Chandler Race Bike: #10’s 2006 Kawasaki ZX10R
Too bad it wasn’t his old Cagiva GP bike huh? Well you can’t have everything and this bike does have some awfully tasty pieces. As the title suggests, this isn’t even the first Ex-Chandler ZX we’ve seen here at RSFS. This one was posted back at the end of 2009.
I don’t believe those forks came stock on the ZX. I know the ZX chassis was always suspect for racing but I bet quite a few guys would like that setup to show off at the local hangout. I found an old press release from 2006 that claims the engine work was done by famed Kawi tuner Rob Muzzy’s shop. It is kind of interesting though, that there is no mention of this in the auction info below…hmmm. I would think that would be a strong selling point.
The seller states this is one of two bikes built for Chandler’s 2006 season. I guess my first question would be if this was the “A” or “B” bike and if there were any differences.
The info:
Everyone likes extras and speaking of extras, it sounds like the motor isn’t hurting in the pony department. If you’d like to own a small piece of racing history you can .
By the way, do you think owning a Cagiva GP bike is just a dream? Check out this photo from a gathering at Imola. This is apparently someones private collection. If you like this sort of stuff be sure to check out two stroke section on the Performance Bikes Forum. It has a cool thread on the Cagiva GP bikes. I don’t want to hear about anyone bragging about their collection of bikes until you have at least two of these.

I still think the various iterations CagivaGP500 were the best looking bikes out there, and this collection is just incredible. He has an Eddie Lawson, a Randy Mamola, two Kocinski bikes. One of those is the probably the bike that Kocinski won at Laguna Seca with.
Right there with you Viceroy. Classic good looks.
Ah…those Cagivas – saw them in action at Laguna when Kocinski almost had pole and Doohan pipped him in dying seconds…would love to have one of those…even have matching leathers with Cagiva/elephant logos…
