Kawasaki KL600 Rat Bike.     Feast your eyes…

Date of registration: 18th April 1989  (F plate)

MOT: July 27th 2016  

This is the most absurd bike and one of the best pieces of automotive art I’ve ever seen!

I kinda bought it by accident off ebay!  I was buying a bike advertised on ebay by the guy who built it. I’d seen this machine on ebay too but thought it was just too bonkers for me!  On collecting the other bike, I saw this and fell in love! The next day, I called him to say, if his ebay buyer let him down, I’d be interested. And bingo!  

Based on the Kawasaki KL 600 B4 and still registered as such, the following mods have been done.

Honda VFR rear swing arm, rear wheel and suspension. The arm has been polished and looks superb.

Yemaha R1 aftermarket seat unit with custom built aluminium subframe and battery box

Performance exhaust (MTC Max Torque Cans)

K&N Air filter

Stove enameled wheels

Custom ‘rear set’ to drop gear shift position down

Custom headlight unit from Belgium (receipt for Euros460)

LED rear light and indicators

Electronic clock, speedo. 

Braided brake hoses

Carbon fibre tank protector

Leather seat

Bar end mirrors
