It is. Thats the Kawasaki KR1, a 250cc GP bike equipped for the road and the fastest production 250cc sports bike ever sold. It had a better power to weight ratio than a KTM 690SMC... in 1988.


I have lusted after the KR-1S (pronounced Chris by most) for many years.

The final, Nera version had between 70 and 75 bhp depending on the fuel you put in it and weighed 108kg with a full tank. All this with lights and a number plate. loving Euro3 regulations ruining everyones fun.

Is that actual IR film, or a digital camera with the hot mirror taken out? If the latter, what kind?

It's a point and shoot digital, a Panasonic DMC-TZ5. I pulled out the IR filter and put in a piece of developed film to block (most)visible light.
