You hired the right man to compliment your team. Looking forward to the Dyno test.

The talent and crew you have working down there is unbelievable and commendable. And people wonder why Kaplan Cycles is the best out there is the #1 KZfaq motorcycle channel on the planet!

Justin seems like a great guy. Smart, well spoken, capable, and he's young. He has a bright future ahead of him. Great addition to the team! And it's always a pleasure to see Billy on the channel. He's an absolute legend. I hope he's ok. I've heard Lime disease can be awful to deal with.

That is a beautiful and sick bike Justin has. His level of knowledge with motorcycle mechanics is unheard of for his age. The Suzuki Bandits were highly rated bikes for their time. I always loved them, but my favorite was my former 2007 Honda 919 Hornet, in Glory Red, that I had for quite a few years. You would have loved my bike, brother. I got her up to 135mph, one night on the interstate. The scary part about it was that, even at 135mph, the bike was pulling hard, and had more unused power left. 135mph was more than fast enough for me, but I bet that 919 Hornet, could have done an honest 150mph for a top speed. Thanks for this awesome video, brother.

Yes, I think you’re onto a winner there Ken. He’s a keeper. We’ll done Justin, that’s a nice bike👍

Justin, at a very young age, is a very talented motorcycle mechanic. Maybe you folks should call Bill Ironman Bill from now on!

What an amazing machine. I have always liked those Bandits... Also love that ZRX

All bikes should be like this 👍

Incredible bike... love to see what people do when they aren't afraid to "improve" on what you're given: the factory doesn't always get it right but a good shade tree engineer can make a bike SO much better than stock... Awesome work Justin, killer bike and not your everyday custom to boot 😈🤘

Hey Ken .. Billy is a absolute legend and such a character.. would be great if you done a video detailing his IOM races..the bikes he rode etc..and also great work from Justin..

Turbo bikes are a blast to play on. I loved my 2008 hayabusa turboed bike

Nice addition to the crew here. Love you guys Ken 👊🏻

I had a 99 Kawasaki 1100 just like his and it was the best bike I ever had. Sold it to my buddy and he totalled it and had to be Air lifted to hospital!

I've been top speed on Kawasaki 1000s & Honda 900f,it was around 140+ & I'd never do it again. Anything can happen & happen fast @ those speeds. Bill is an unbelievable Ironman for his accomplishments & in fact the three of you are..

His mechanic skills are awesome

This is so great. My first street bike was a cb750 and my second was a 2002 Bandit 1200.

Id get the exhaust further away from the case. awesome bike ! great content!

looks like billy needs fork seals

Like how they're keeping the Big Guy in the conversation!

Nice build Justin!

Get me in touch with this man(Bandit) I bought a bandit today and I’m in need of him. I pay well. I’ll pay whatever he says. I need him, and the scary thing is, it’s already bloody fast 💨

That is a great Bike btw love the content Keep up the great work ken

Really. It looks like an engine project platform at an engineering college. Justin just happened to put it on a motorcycle frame 😂. But ride it?! Leonardo Da Vinci has come back as a build tech @ Kaplan's 🏍️ 😳

Cool bike!

Bandit 1200* 😂

Almost perfect … needs a center stand 😂🤘🏻

Hope to see SR wring it out proper

i just got back from north conway friggin love it up there

I'd like to have that Suzuki , that thing has power .. Would like to have an H2 Kaw also lol

sick BRO sick

Hes just a straight up bad@ss mf absolute masterpiece of a machine

Ken💪💪💪💪💪 crazy bike😉

Adrenaline machine for sure!

lyme ... or is he vaccinated with the mrna ?

Holy Moly

When you put the video out looking for someone with knowlege and passion for bikes, i didn't expect you to find someone so exact. When other babies have plastic and wooden toys, this kid was probably teething on a conrod

Ken Kaplan 2024 !!!

Miss my bandit 1200 1997 mine was piped and jetted polished Corbin seat lot of money wish I never sold it

That thing would eat my r1

I have an 05 bandit1200 and was thinking about doing this, how much did the build cost?

FBM stands for Fast By Me. It’s a UK 🇬🇧 Company run and owned by Dave Dunlop he’s the GOAT. I’m sure he’d like to know how you had correct his work 🤔

all hail its a freakn rock sheep

take a look to suzuki b-king to see a wild animal....without turbo... XD

so the motor isn’t FULLY built

Uh..

I owned the exact bike new but found it batshit boring so traded it on new 2005 ZZR1200, over here in New Zealand.

Is all good in the Kaplan Hood? Haven't seen JR in a vid for quite awhile? Hopefully he's just chilling with his smoke show GF and taking a vacation?
