Just a trailer for a short documentary on Kimura and the bikes that he builds. I've always dug the things he's done to certain bikes and the ones he has built from scratch so I figured I'd share the love.

 

Great post, the man is a visionary, putting so much work into the smallest details. And his bikes are ridden!

 

Holy ****, an XB owner! Always good to see someone else who rides a Buell.

 

Thanks mate, figured I was working in the antique m/c biz (American...for a Kiwi) and couldn't ride a ZX without feeling the wrath of the co-workers and I just loved the whole XB set up (big torque, fantastic handling AND being the only one on it, no matter where I rode to...Rock Store, only one; Ortega Hwy, only one...then). It sucks it's now an orphan, but I wouldn't trade it for the world...it's sitting outside my Honda dealership now..getting rained on. It's all good!!

Of course it's just a ***** rain compared to what you're probably getting in Southern AZ!

 

welcome to 2008

 

I prefer to think of it as a 21st Century chassis with a 1950 engine
