This bike was posted to our Facebook page but I'll add all avaliable shots here. Bob posted it for his friend who made it in a month from parts laying about. Total cost was £15 for a 'hypercharger'. Cheers Bob

Re: Kawabota D600
No more details as yet I'm afraid. Stuff coming at me from each and every platform and, as regards that bike, this is all I've been told.
Re: Kawabota D600
Some more details on the bike, Kawasaki GPZ600 running gear, Kubota 3 cylinder 600cc engine with starter relocated to back of engine, BSA gearbox. runs fine but he's on the look out for a 722? motor to swap over, has hypercharger fitted (waste of time) Silentnight bed frame as part of the exhaust, stickers by Me!
this was built using bits donated or lying about total cost to him was £15 for the useless hypercharger.

Great job. Those engines are amazingly reliable. I used to use Kubota G1700's for public works contracting.

Re: Kawabota D600
