Kawasaki ZX-10R Turbo

[EJ25RUN]

FasterandFaster.....

Isao Yoshioka's turbocharged, 230bhp, 2004-model Kawasaki ZX-10R...

Sometimes, it’s a bit hard to believe the stock Kawasaki ZX-10R isn’t actually wild enough for some people. Take, for example, Isao Yoshioka san, who’s sent us this picture of his ZX-10R Ninja, which is loaded with aftermarket parts – MTC pistons, Crower rods, Muzzy clutch, T3 turbocharger, SARD wastegate and a handmade exhaust system. Also, the wheels have been changed to lightweight forged alloy Marchesini units, and the brakes are special BRR units.

Yoshioka san reckons that Kawasaki engine is making around 230 horsepower, and since he’s not satisfied with that (of course he isn’t, who would?), he plans to run more boost, add NOS, change the cams and use a longer, handmade swingarm.

Yoshioka says he likes Faster and Faster and that he finds Japanese motorcycle websites uninteresting. He also says he wants to go to the US because he likes drag racing and custom bike shows. Ah, well, we wish you all the best, Isao! And if we ever come down to Japan, can we take that ZX-10R of yours for a spin…?
