In 1988, Kawasaki produced a road racing replica motorcycle. The
initial models were the B1, B2 series of the KR-1. In 1989, due to the
sales success and updated models of competing manufacturers
(RGV, NSR, TZR) the KR-1 (B series) evolved into the KR-1S and KR-1R
(C, D series). The C1, C2, C3 and D1, D2 models shared the same engine (minor updates) and bodywork
(different colour schemes) of the previous KR-1. The S and R models
differed slightly in construction of frame, wheels, brakes, and colour
schemes.
The engine for all KR-1 models was a two-cylinder, reed valve induction two-stroke motor of 249 cc (somewhat based on the previous Yamaha TZ/TZR configurations). The 180° firing parallel twin configuration featured a crank driven balance shaft. The power delivery was broadened with the use of the Kawasaki Integrated Powervalve System (K.I.P.S.) arrangement shared by other Kawasaki two-strokes. Total production of all models in KR-1 (B/C/D) series was less than 10,000 units worldwide. The low production numbers has increased collectibility. Worldwide markets for sales were Japan, United Kingdom, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa (excluded USA due to emissions restrictions). Considered to be least successful of the four Japanese 250 cc Race Replicas (in terms of sales), the KR-1 series was notable for excellent handling, due to its light weight and steering geometry and least difficult to modify and increase the power output of the engine. Proven to be fastest of all 250 cc models (Suzuki RGV250, Yamaha TZR250, Honda NSR250R, Aprilia RS250) with a top speed of 139 mph (225 km/h) - tested by Performance Bikes Magazine and subsequently at Bonneville Speedway (World's Fastest Production 250 cc) Nice original KR1 for sale. Good for Collection or Track days. Not recommend on street too fast !! no title bill of sale only. Bike runs well. Will ship worldwide, Export shipping papers available. |
