Hey Mary Poppins, where's your helmet?

Pretty cool Frank. It looks new, is it some kind of kit or an original somethingorother?

Newest Raccia build (apparently for Ryan Reynolds) -- a CB750. I'm not sure I like it that much. I do like the tank -- a KZ1000R modified Kawasaki gas tank -- similar to what Mike LaFountain used on his '78 CB550 build. I think I liked his 550 build better.

is that a custom frame? it looks like it's more than just modified.

Looks like either a custom frame or a heavily modified one. Given the customer, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a ground up custom frame.

Hi Frank..
this brings back many fond memories. Back in the late 50's many of us teenagers had neither the money..nor parental approval to ride anything bigger or more robust. From about 13 to 15 Whizzers were our main passion. May have told you this before..but one of our buddies hopped-up a Whizzer to go 65 to 70 MPH..which is flying..on a bicycle essentially. Always dreamed of adding a regular transmission..and converting from "L" head to OHV to see how much better they would run. Never did. Honda came out with the Cub..then the Dream shortly after BTW. Thanks for the memories..and they're still fun to ride!

Okay, it IS water-cooled, but it looks bad-a$$. DOHC Kawasaki parallel twin 650 engine (Ninja 650, Versys engine) in a purpose-built frame. Engine tuned to 90+hp and 313 lb wet weight. This thing hauls and kicks XR750 butt.

The Kawasaki is pretty impressive for a modern dirt tracker, but the Honda RS750 was a monster.
