    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

  • In order to help others find info on a particular bike, be sure to put the year, make or model of bike that you are asking a question about, in the Topic Title. This will allow people to pass by posts they have no interest in.

Stumbled onto a Kawasaki KH606. I like the simplicity of 2 strokes, but this is pushing it.

The H2 was a 750cc triple and it only had about 74 hp at 6800 rpm.
I dont see this thing being any much better with 7 cylinders.
 
2 stroke fan? YES! I hope to own a proper street only (no enduro bike) stroker someday.
For now I get my premix smoke fix from a 60s era motor scooter with 4.2 horsepower of "fury".
It is fun though.

So there is the real "widow maker"

RD350 was my first street bike. The "hit" scared the snot out of me, not enough to stop WOT! :surprise:
 
Wish they were still produced for the street. My best handling bike is probably this:

Heres an interesting swap if my 450 engine ever calls it a day...
(skip to the 49 secound point)

Someone here started a snowmobile engine swap a while back, but the thread dropped off of the map.

Couple more pots and the side stand is redundant.
Have you seen the far side, the kick start is far far away.

Right, and the loudest thing in the county, until it grinds off your left foot!
Like, what's the point?

Was the KH606 ever produced or was it just a prototype? You actually saw one?

Not really a prototype. An Allan Millyard creation. He's built a few including a Honda and Kawasaki V 12...............





And my personal favorite " The Flying Millyard...........

When it is leaned over to the left, does it work well as a scroll-saw on the asphalt?

What designs have you made?
