Naked Muscle: The Kawabusa II

Norm Wilding probably did not like the Suzuki B-King very much, so he decided to build his own Hayabusa-powered naked musclebike. And he seems to have done well...!

This very hot looking Kawabusa II special is the work of one Norm Wilding, at MidMoMc. The starting point for the bike was a 2003 Kawasaki ZRX1200R, which is where the chassis comes from. Everything else � including the engine, wheels, brakes, suspension and swingarm � are off a 2005 Suzuki Hayabusa.

This is, in fact, Wilding�s second Kawabusa, with significant improvements having been made to the original. Apart from various mechanical modifications, the bike benefits from various bolt-ons: carbonfibre front fender and rear hugger, gauges/instruments from a Suzuki GSX1400, headlight from a Suzuki Bandit, Renthal handlebars, BF Goodrich braided stainless steel brake lines, oil cooler and tail unit from a GSX-R1000, Yoshimura exhaust system and a Power Commander.

�I built this bike because I love the power of the Hayabusa, and the upright riding position of the ZRX. The Kawabusa II sure is a blast to ride,� says Wilding. But of course�

1950s American Classic Cars

1950s American Classic Cars [Image]Bumper Sticker [Image] Cars are probably the most valuable luxury items in Cuba, not to mention a necessity for some, and the skills and resources necessary to maintain a car not only provides the best job, but having such skills considered a well-kept secret, passed down from father to son through the generations. The Cubans consider the family car, and its clean-running engine, like a [Image]Wedding Car [Image] Frenchman or Californian thinks of his vineyard. Up until The Revolution in 1960, Cuba was the largest importer of American Cars, mostly the huge, gas-guzzling, multi-ton pile of metal that so many of us look back on today as a romantic relic of the past. After the embargo, Cuba has had cars from other countries�most notably, Russia�but few of them have ever been able to last but a few years. The American cars, however, have lasted through the years, and still run perfectly today. For most Cubans, this is their main source of revenue, since they can operate a taxicab, taking tourists around, and taking in up to $50/day in an economy where the average Cuban makes $15-25 a month. Of course, the cost of owning a car is high, especially with gasoline costing $8/gallon. But, with prices this high, it's not surprising to see a beautify gas station with a mini-mart and fresh, clean paint on the walls, popping out conspicuously from a scene of intense poverty along rural roads.

 The "Camel", as it is called, because of the two "humps" that are on the front and back, is an enormous people-moving vehicle that can carry more Cubans than the entire Cuban Population of the state of Florida. Built out of 18-wheeler semi's, normally used to haul earth-moving equipment or actors from the World Wrestling Federation, these trucks pack people so tightly, explains one old woman, that "people have done everything biologically possible that a human can do."

Now, here is where Cuban ingenuity and sense of humor combine to not only solve problems, but do it with a smile. The Coconut Taxi, or the "coco-taxi", is a cute little two-seater, which is mostly used to do quick trips around the city, or to be used as a wedding limo to take you to... well, back home. And, despite the obvious visual conclusions you may draw, not one has been seen on a golf course. (Well, Cubans understandably don't have a lot of Republicans, so golf has had limited exposure on this tiny island.

Motor Special Edition

Motor Special Edition

Years ago we know also issued Satria Suzuki FXR 120 and curtain-style with Movistar Suzuki. Or F1ZR from Yamaha with khusu color (if not mistaken la Marlboro Yamaha).

Now the strategy is re-used, for what? Motor that uses special frills edition will make an exclusive (even though the motor was mass production.) This affects the psychological prospective buyers, especially if kelirnya same with motor racing, take them to think at least the same color as the racers idol (maybe not).

There's nothing wrong with this strategy if you want to be exploited further, particularly Rossi's Yamaha can take advantage of the moment Strikes Back. Put Jupiter MX or V-Ixion edition Fiat Yamaha Team can surely attract more customers.

For Kawasaki (Logo status of its MotoGP team still vacillate) can use the color green. Well this was done was always especially Green Stabilo on Ninja 250R and the Athlete. But according to some information on the Ninja 250 green color less attractive than other colors.

Perhaps there is another strategy that is more exclusive than the Kawasaki?
