1982 kawasaki KZ1000 CSR


998cc transverse inline 4 cylinder

70 x 66mm bore and stroke

two valves per cylinder , dual overhead cams

HP/Torque is nearly "square"  @ 100


It's a bit of a blunt instrument in a razor edge world.

Kinda like , what do you want, a modern fuel infected LS6 or a 70's era 427 Mk IV big block with dual 4 barrels?


True there are some liter bikes today that are pushing close to 200HP @ half the weight but the brutality and low end torque of the Kawasaki "J" engine still has some appeal .


Then again I Have a plethora of parts for this engine including several top ends with displacement up to 1260 and cylinder heads to match.


Does it get modified or swapped into the cop chassis or flipped or turned into a fire breathing beast remains to be seen .

I have yet to get it off the truck :-)
