Almost Done – 1977 Kawasaki KZ650 with Turbocharged GSX-R 750 Motor

In Custom, Japan, Sport by AbhiLeave a Comment

There’s only one picture, and the seller says it’s tuned and rideable but it still needs a little work. I say whoever BUYS this needs a little work, but it’s so bonkers that I have to share.

The core of the frame is from a ’77 KZ650, while the motor is a ’08 GSX-R 750 unit that’s been turbocharged to make approximately 215 horsepower at 15psi. The front end is from a ’12 GSX-R 750 as well. Per the seller, the bike is registered and it runs but he puts the project completion percentage at 90. There aren’t enough photos in the listing to determine what remains to be done (paint, obviously), though the frame, extended swingarm, levers, and plenty more pieces have been powdercoated. This is insanity.

Find this Kawi/Zook hybrid for sale in Vacaville, California for $5,000 here on Craigslist.
