Don't know who jimmy haight is, but he has a sick kawi budget drag bike. Hopefully my z1 will resemble this when im done..........notice i said hopefully.....lol. I can't stop watching this movies, it sends chills down my spine, and put's a smile on my face. I wonder if he has any motor work done to it? Any trained ears?

I can't really tell by my spidey-senses what size engine but I spot some Mikuni RS carbs (the smallest available is 34mm), an outboard bearing support, and a V&H PCO pipe. He also has a MKII style engine, it looks like.
