I'm so glad i was into bikes in the days of the 250 stroker, even if i was too young to ride when they first came out. I see the anti septic bikes around today, and feel sorry for the yoofz not knowing the thrill of a two stroke. Even when i had my RD 350 LC at age 17 (mid 90's) I hankered after a KR1-S.
That's a pretty funky bike, mate. My KR1 is sitting in the shed, awaiting restoration. I can see why you'd have changed the original suspension. The original is ....unworthy....to say the least. Great steering, too. Loved the vid.
Gaat lekker man,door mandeveen, meeuwenmeer en ramshoek,alleen "echte" mannen onderscheiden zich daar tussen de gewone motorrijders, goed gereden top!
Leek me dat je op sommige rechte stukken net even te lang gegeard staat, misschien iets kleiner tandwieltje plaatsen,blijf je meer in je powerband ;-)
Heerlijk relaxed en toch hard gaan, das helemaal hoe het moet (in mijn ogen) het ziet er uit dat je dit vaker gedaan heb, laat eens horen? mooie video, greetz
first time ive ever seen your video and must say it brings back many happy memories. passing larger 4 stroke bikes on a good old kr1s. had mine back in about '91. rode it both on the road and on the track. boy i loved that bike. great video on a track i love. keep up the good work.
Thanks! Only the suspension (and air-intake) are not-original on the bike. Suspension is from WP and was adjusted special for this track. I have more cornerspeed now and then because of the light-weight of the bike.
That's coz the KR1-S takes corners at least 10mph faster than anything else... :p
I have one too.....luv it! Just spent £1700 on a new top end and tuning. She will be home from garage soon and out tearing up my local streets again...wicked!! :)
this is a propoer bike at a great circuit, which has now been ruined. why did they change it? and has anyone else noticed that more riders are being injured at the new track?!?!?!?
WTF imacf90? 80? 80 what? The KR1-S 250's book top speed is 132mph (bog standard WITH restriction in exhaust too) & does 0-60 in 4.1 seconds (That's as fast as a Gallardo! & from 0-100 the KR1-S beats it by over a second). With a bit of tuning & new pipes, you can get them up over 140mph. I had a 1990 KR1 that was timed at 142mph and currently own a 1992 KR1-S which is about to come out of the garage sporting a stage 3 tune & unrestricted pipes. That should be good for about the same speed. :)
Thanks for this. Assen is the Franchorchamps of moto-bikes, my favourite. That Kawa rocks, is it standard or are you running bigger carbs or big-bore? How did that last guy ran away from you, I was sure you´d get him. Waiting for your next post, cheers from Chile!
I loved the video. He shows that a 2T is unbeatable. Come along with motorcycle engine much higher. Thanks for the ride.

How was your bike set up for this? You took those turns to what seemed like 10+ Mph faster than anyone else at times.
Good driving, thanks for the vid.

Only thing not original about the Kawa is the air-intake. It's a K&N airfilter wich also provides a nice sound :)
