      over the years of Kawasaki copying itself.. they have built renditions of the Zs and KZs let the famous Eddie Lawson campaigned in the superbikers series .. and year before last the Eddie Larson replica was the most beautiful Kawasaki I've ever seen.. but right now I cannot tell you or show you or type you any reference to what I'm talking about because Google AI has decided for me that I don't need to see anything older than 1983.. have you ever find this recent version doesn't look like anything from the past.. but it is painted in the traditional stripes and all Kawasaki green except it's a pearl green that sparkles add close up and the factory quarter race fairing is old school British Ace Cafe.. around 900 cc's.. what's today's average performance for a rice rocket that size. But that's all I can remember of the specs as Google will not let me see a picture of it.. but I can only get the real super bikers bikes ready to race better butt ugly.. light Freddy Spencer's Honda 1100 super sport Anna Wes Cooley's GS1000 all roller bearing crank blue and white half bearing with working gauges in it... But this latest Eddie Lawson replica is a game changer.. and when I was stealing a picture of it did Chuck who works kind of as a parts manager sales representative service writer for screamin eagle stages and the man who will twist your arm to force you to sign the work order for stage 4 after you buy the brand new bike
      I showed him the Eddie Lawson and he froze for a moment and said I've got to have that bike.. 2 years ago I believe they were in the 12ish price range. And as it's been driven out of the showroom and find a used one that's over 2 years old may start to get closer to our price range that will never get to the magical prices the gold wings have came to as you can buy a used one 4 Bangor fully loaded running 4 round 300 bucks now. The gold ring you showed us at barracuda Harley that was the sale of the day brand new cost $5,000 more than a Harley now it's worth $5,000 cheaper than a used Harley and a brand new Yamaha r1 that all the kids love to brag about next to Harley as the Harley is it slow piece of s***cost 2x more than their rice rocket ... Not anymore , price the 2024 Yamaha R1m .. we are north of CVO prices

    Joe has the voice for old school how to movies you used to watch in school. Damn fellas. This series... super fine. I was one of those older subs that was for the bikes and the mechanics and not the wimmin and shenanigans etc. This is back on point for me. I dont want you to change just super happy you got some content that I feel that if a random woman saw me watching she would shake her head out of disappointment rather than rage. And... I watched this before the first one. Goddamn. Its like the star wars series yet this time the prequel will be better.

    Nice vid. The synchronising has the biggest effect on idle quality and very light throttle inputs like pootling around town at 2500rpm but that is exactly when you need delicate throttle control.
    Once the engine is working harder using mid throttle (= running on the needles) or full throttle openings (= running on the fully opened jets) the synchronisation is not really very important any more. But how often do you go full throttle? That's right. Hardly ever and only for short bursts.
    Well synchronised carbs give the creamy smooth power delivery at low revs.
    Nice job!
