No, it's not a 2 stroke, but it is a racing Kawasaki.

That's got to be worth something. $100,000 maybe? We'll see.

I'd be EXTREMELY interested in what one, still in the crate, would go for?

Don't think there are any. That's probably as close as you'd ever get. If I'm not mistaken, the S1's that didn't sell were busted up and parted out to competitors that needed parts. Supposedly, there were only about 30, or less ever produced. Who even knows how many survived? I wonder if Kawi has one in their museum? I bet if there were a crated S1 around, it would probably fetch 150 to 200 thousand. Just slightly out of my budget range. :lol:

Eh, after all the hype, I'd still rather have an old factory H2R, or KR750. Wouldn't mind one of those little old World Champion KR250's, either! :D

A tricked up, streetable version of Duhamel's H2R would be my perfect Kawasaki - your avatar bike with lights!! :lol:

I think I'll stick with the twin-shock! I meant to say "DuHamel", I think is correct!! :?

Yeh. I guess if it wasn't good enough for Yvon, it wouldn't be good enough for us, either. ;)

But, it sure was funky lookin'! :lol:

Neah, THIS One is as close as you will get, Eddies original publicity bike, supposedly never run or raced, you'll noet the key is still clipped to the cables, the bike could do with a good clean but it's alive and well and living in California! :thumbup:
