Twin Engine Kawasaki?

James Pratt February 15, 2014

I have heard of twin engine airplanes, but you don’t often run across a twin engine motorcycle. Yet that is just what we saw today at the Jeff Williams OKC Motorcycle Show. RideOK host Tommy Bolton talked to Sam Wills about his inspiration for building this twin engine Kawasaki for a client.

“A gentleman name Randy Waters came to us and said he had seen a bike built back in the seventies, a double, and wanted one like it” explains Wills. The design is based on the double engine dragsters of the 60’s and 70’s. The bike looks like a drag bike but is built for the street with lots of custom machining and fabrication.
