HAM STEAK-2

Recorded a top speed of 300.90km/h.
Rider Shingo Saeki.

An event of March 31, 2009.

'HAM STEAK-2' is the machine of the RUSH DEAL and it puts air-cooling in-line four engines of Kawasaki 'Z' on an original frame.
This record is inferior to a maximum speed record of Z in ElMirage of Ron Cook.

However, A course is FUJI INTERNATIONAL SPEEDWAY.

The road surface is good with asphalt,; but a normal circuit.
Last corner '33R' is uphill.
And it is a highest speed try by a main straight of 1.5 kilos.
However, the later first turn is a descent of 27R.

In other words, in this course, the instantaneous power of the engine and the height of the total performance of the machine are demanded.


Did you have you understand height of the performance of this machine, height of the technique of the rider?

A sponsor changed from this time and turned into an event aimed for skill up.

There is it on the slope of the mountain and is small.
However, the course is an intense interesting layout of the ups and downs which made use of the topography in.

The course condition is heavy wet because of rain on that day.
However, rain stopped in the afternoon and was dry and was able to run.

Mainly on the Kawasaki Z series, many vintage motorcycles participated.
Lecturers consist of a 'T.O.T' top rider, and, as it were, it seems to be a SuperBike School.

This is not shop sponsorship, it is a personal meeting.

BLUE THUNDERS

Two machines which won in Daytona of CCS and AHRMA were supported by a small motorcycle shop called "BLUE THUNDERS".

This small motorcycle shop is located in Adachi-ku of the downtown area of Tokyo, and there is a small factory in the side of Arakawa river and tunes up Z of the old Kawasaki motorcycle in Maine.
In the small factory, used machine tools form a line, and an engine tuned up variously is loaded with orderly by a shelf.
Surely the factory when YOSHIMURA went into U.S.A. for the first time would be such an air.
Seemingly it is hard to drop in, but the Ohara mechanic which is polite with Iwano of the tuner which is a frank representative is friendly, and the place where a lot of friends gather.


From such a place, world's best Z was produced.

GP-5X

There is helmet wearing duty to run on the road in Japan.
Therefore the rider has feelings toward a helmet.
And the owner of many old motorcycles thinks that the latest helmet does not match.
Even if ventilation is comfortable, the owner of many old motorcycles makes much of a style than the comfort.
There is the helmet which is popular among such riders.
It is Arai GP-5X.

This Arai GP-5X does not perform the sale in foreign countries in Japan model.
This model is based on car use, and a shield modified for motorcycles.
