LEGENDARY ROUTE BY ONE OF THE BEST- MORIWAKI

MORIWAKI HAS BUILT A gorgeous range of Zephyr add-ons in the tradition of the great Moniwaki Kawasaki Superbike that Wayne Gardner rode in the 1981 British Superbike series…
The Kawasaki Zephyr 1100 was a brilliant bike that really never took off the way it should have here in Australia or New Zealand. However, if we could have gotten our hands on some of the kit that this Moriwaki Zephyris decked out with, things would have This bike was built in Japan by friends at been a lot different.
If you are in your mid-40s, loved early 1980s superbike racing, and always dreamed of owning your bally air-cooled bike will make that dream come true.
Moriwaki Engineering. I can’t think of a trickierr looking Starting with a base 2006 Zephyr 1100 more ballsy and tough looking naked bike than this 1258cc big bore muscle bike-built by the company that so famously took on the world in the early 1980s with a naked, upright superbike-arguably the world’s firstsuperbike, and one that kickstarted the career of our own Wayne Gardner..
This bike was built in Japan by friends at Moriwaki Engineering..g Starting with a base 2006 Zephyr 1100, the cylinders were sleeved and bored to take huge 80mm Moriwaki pistons, running a compression ratio of 11.5:1.
Stock carburettors (Keihin Batslides will be available soon) are rejetted to suit the hot-looking, hand-bent large-diameter Moriraki Monster exhaust system and modified airbox.. Standard camshafts are used.
The sump is replaced with a billet alloy Moriwaki oil pa,n and braided high-pressure oil lines supply oil ttheis/oil-cooled engine
The engine also has a Mocki billet alternator cores, sight-hand engine cover, oil cooler, and air scoop under the steering head. A trick-looking clutch slave cylinder brace mount/countershaft cover is also
fitted.
The Zephyr has never been considered a well-handling bike for sports riding, but Mosai Engineering has well and truly fixed that. With decades of racing success, if anyone knows about handling,,g it is these guys.
The forks are gorgeous, Ohlins blacked out FS824K/KB 43mm inverted forks in Moriwaki billet
triple-clamps, while the rear shodare
Are Ohlins 536PRICIL items mounted to a seriously tough-looking Mociwaki wingarm
Marchesini Kompo-Ero forged alloy wheels wear Sunstarrotor, the bike is stopped by Brembo calipers, and Plot Suage Kevlar lines. Dunlop Sportmax Q2 120/70/17 and 180/55/17 17 tyres are fitted.
To protect the bike, Morak crash knobs are fitted and the stunning paintwock, a replica job of the original Moriwaki superbike, was done by Design Factory, Japan Nest frame hole plugs, Moerwaki rearsets, PIAA HID headlight, POSH blinkers and Mociwaki bar risers top off this stunning machine that has more drool factor than any Zephyr we have ever seen, plus it has the power and handling to match the looks…
