Fastest Kawasaki ever!!!!
This afternoon at the Mojave Magnum1.5mi LSR event, TFA member Doug Seim's ZX14 ran a 239.5mph making it the fastest Kawasaki ever.
It was only running at 12# boost and has made right at 500hp on Terry Kizers dyno last week at 20#. LOTS to go!!!
go-Doug-GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, a turbo 12 did 240+ a few years back at Elvington in the UK.
Serious numbers though and sounds like there's alot more to come.
It's nice to see someone developing a Kawasaki rather than following the Suzi herd.
