When I was browsing through some of my old motorcycle picture archives, I stumbled over this picture that I’ve downloaded from www.streetfighters.nl. This is one of the meanest looking Kawasaki Z I’ve ever seen. I absolutely love it, except for the exhaust system, I think it would have fitted visually better with a real silencer. The engine is from a newer Suzuki GSF 1200 Bandit, which made me think… perhaps I could fit an engine like that in my Honda!

Perhaps it is a little blasphemeous to use a Suzuki engine in a Honda frame, but it’s a fact that the Suzuki GSF 1200 Bandit engine just runs more miles before a rebuild is needed, and doesn’t have problems with primary and cam chains rattling in an early age as the Honda F’s do. The GSF 1200 Bandit engine would fit perfectly with my requirements for an engine. But, first of all, I’ll have to find out if it’s realistic to make such a mod to my bike.

If you have any thoughts on this idea, please leave a comment.
