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!
