Are you man/woman enough?

I used to know someone with a 236 bhp 1978ish Kawasaki Z1000, standard frame, standard brakes, only chassis modification was a 3" longer square section swingarm, the engine had a 1428 big bore, turbo and nitrous, not sure if he ever used all the power, the 236 bhp was on the TTS dyno, he wouldn't even take it to Santa Pod when a load of us to go regularly.

What frame is that?

I thought all the GSXR's were up-and-over type, not wrap around frames?

It's a Spondon frame, the clue is the big banner in the picture

But why?

The bike can't cope with it.

Can I have some please for mine?

Though I've just been on FaceAche and that bike is on there, says it has a Nico Bakker frame

I thought bakker did tube frames?

I'd ride that no bother.
