Pro Am modified 1200

Here is a look at Dustin Farthing's Havasu ride.
Possible that Kawasaki has one for public consumption for next year.
If they do release one that leaves Yamaha with no new high horsepower competition for STX 15F and RXP.

That is a beast! No way they'd maket it exactly as-is though...way too much HP and $$$. I bet that would be a $18,000+ PWC (I'd still *want* one though) :)

Re: Pro Am modified 1200

I can only imagine the holeshot on that thing.330 HP should be sick I need to have one!

Re: Pro Am modified 1200

You couldn't touch that boat for $18K.........

330HP ? and Joe Hiem says it is stock with a blower ? That is alot of extra power for just a 13psi boost without any other mods. Although he goes on to point out forged pistons and an intercooler and an unobtainable ECU, Skat Trak pump, ect. How stock is that?

Don't believe everthing you read. My guess? about 250-270 hp......

Kanamori's STX blown 4 stroker does a reported 84mph over here on the Kawasaki Test lake down the street from my shop. That is fast enough.

Who do I make the check out to :D

Re: Pro Am modified 1200

The internals have been changed out with some motorcycle go fast parts. I heard aftermarket cams,mtc pistons,big vortec blower,etc.,etc. Stock guts would be trashed at 13 lbs of boost! But it would still be a thrill to ride!

Re: Pro Am modified 1200

Phil I think you are right, you would have to really lower the compression down, BUT in the Ninja those motors can handle allot.

Re: Pro Am modified 1200

They sure can but it's the loading and unloading of the pump that does it for ski motors.Bikes have a nice constant load.

Re: Pro Am modified 1200

I have talked with someone who knows the Farthings and he told me that Kawasaki is not going to release a similar model.
I hope he is wrong and that YAMAHA also steps up to the plate with a GP four stroke supercharged high HP monster.
I guess I am dreaming now.
I would like some gps or radar #s from that 330 HP Kawasaki it must be something special.

Re: Pro Am modified 1200

I know several of the team green guys and they said low to mid 80s on glass, high 70s in full race trim They also said sometime after the races they were going to take it to a lake and race some very unsuspected grudge racers.
