A new addition the the 2 wheeled collection. The Racebike straddles the end of the traditional front suspension era and in 1989 this was the last iteration Kawasaki produced before switching to the modern "Upsidedown" forks that are common today. This highly modified Kawasaki ZXR750 is "bad to the bone" and features additional custom features, including hydrolic clutch and an enlarged radiator suitable for racing applications.
