1990 Kawasaki KR1S

Postby Rick Yates » Tue Mar 27, 2012 8:12 am

After much thought, I've decided to sell my little Kawasaki. It's pretty rare on this side of the Atlantic. Probably the only race bike in Canada. Purchased as a roller, I've spent much time and $$ bringing it back to racing condition. It's a 250 twin 2 stroke w/electric power valves, case reeds. Produces approximately 60 HP. The only difference between the older KR1 model and this one are the front brakes.
Every other spec is the same.
I split the engine and checked / replaced everything that it needed. It has about 30 minutes of running time on it.
New fairing and lowers from the UK, still in green gelcoat. Glass seat from France. New battery last week.
I have lots of spares accumulated, including rad, stator,cdi boxes, water pump, calipers, forks, NOS silencers, complete transmission, power valves etc. etc. 2 spare sets of barrels and pistons ( one ported with steel sleeves and new pistons).2 NOS rear tires. Shop Manual on CD. Parts are easily obtained in the UK. I had a low side get-off 2 years ago that scratched the right side a little.(not shown)
Originally from Germany, I properly imported it from the USA as a competition bike.

Beautiful bike Richard, sure looks like a sweet machine. I really hope someone in the VRRA buys her. I would love to have the chance to race against it in P4.

With the right rider, I think this bike would do really well in P4 Light. Same horsepower, but apparently it will pull 10mph more then my little RGV.
