Well and truly sumped!

Last month I started dismantling the smoothly beating heart of my straight-six water-cooled leviathan Kawasaki.

I have to mention here, that I have no interest in safe bikes with ABS, traction control, eleventy billion suspension settings and clocks that look more like an iPad; I want a raw exciting bike that has to be tamed.

When I left you I had just removed the longest cylinder head I have ever seen on a motorcycle and am ever likely to. At this point I will make note here that when stripping any bike ensure that you have lots of containers to put the parts in.
