Nope, that IS one of the 4 best Kawasaki engines ever designed and built, KR750.

And...yes, I do know that all of you also know it's a KR750.

They were the last rendition of the 750 triple 2 stroke racing engine. Water cooled and twisted cylinders for more transfer tunnel area.

I'm sure Dave has more details...... :thumbup:

was kidding, it's my engine I got onEvil bay years ago, got also after on 2010 a real KR frame, swing arm , pipes, tank and a NOS head still on original wrapper and plastic with a tag for numbered the part as a normal part + a radiator, a barrel and two set of crankcase.
Must find wheels that's easy as Morris wheels are now rebuilt just 1800 $ the set, brakes would fit new Brembo as I've a picture of Hansford KR fitting with brembo, ignition and fork.
Need also replacement parts such pistons, rings, rods, gear box to use it.

That is excellent JP - mount a sheet of plate glass and your new coffee table is done. 8-) 8-)
