That looks like a lot of fun. Sounds great! I would drive that in mid summer only so I'd be sure the police have there windows up and the A/C on :biggrin:

Couldn't help notice his shoes. What an idiot.
Dammit, I was going to comment on his sandshoes with no socks. The ATTGATT monitors will not be happy.
He's also an idiot to be riding on Beach Rd. St. Kilda like that. There are much better places for him to play clown.

OR laces!
If you asked me which road in Melbourne you would most likely get done for speeding on, that would be it.

F the shoes...he should pull his nuts out of his abdomen and hit puberty. He sounds like a 10 year old. :biggrin:
I don't care about the douche bag on the bike I just love the sound it makes at 19k rpm :biggrin:
Did I read that this is a 4 cyl 2 stroke bike? Obviously never imported into the US.
Rick
4 cyl 4 stroke. Kawasaki and Honda both made 4 cylinder 250cc bikes but you are correct they were never imported to the states.
A few made it as grey imports and I have seen both the kawi and Honda at the track.
Not sure if Yamaha or Suzuki built the same but it would be a silly fun toy.
Yamaha had the "Zeal". I think Harvy found one for Chandra to ride while she was in Oz.
And Suzuki had the "Across". This was a pretty bike that had the fuel tank beneath the seat and the "tank" was a storage area that was large enough to store a helmet in. Both of them were/are 4cyl 4stroke bikes.
I think the only 4cyl 2stroke street bikes were the Yamaha RD500LC and the Suzuki RG500gamma.

Just found this in an older forum on line. Wouldn't mind havin' one of these to blast down some country roads!!
"ok thanks the thing is both these bikes are zx2r's which makes them both 250's and from what ive researched there only available in aus and jap. In australia were limited by power to weight ratio not engine capacity so the zx2r's we get have a top speed of 180km's hr and 39rwhp but the import model has 45rwhp and a top speed 240km's hr."

Kevin,
You beat me to it! I had watched that video earlier, just hadn't gotten around to posting it. A sad end to that bike.

Did someone say Zeal...?
The RPM Zeal (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/YAMAHA-FZX250-ZEAL-1998-/181355419796?)
This one is all ready to go, it just made the trip from Brisbane to the rally and back.
