 9 min read

MARVELOUS ENGINEERING's GPZ900R

A unique service called "Ninja Dock" is performed on the Kawasaki GPZ900R to ensure its safe and reliable performance by conducting necessary inspections and maintenance. Furthermore, the owner carefully selects and evaluates the parts to be installed, aiming to create a sense of attachment and fondness towards their bike. They also add a touch of personalization to the finishing paintwork. The bike has an eye-catching exterior paintwork tailored at the YF design, featuring a "Marvelous Pattern" flare. While maintaining a sense of coherence in part selection and engine tuning, each component exudes a distinctive atmosphere.

15 locations were reinforced, and the latest engine was installed. The work began with an internal inspection, and new parts were installed after considering the compatibility and balance of different parts and making selections. The balance of each part was decided after consulting with the owner, and it took about two years to complete the project, achieving a finish resembling a new bike. Many parts were studied, both the engine and the body were assembled, and parts were also prepared to balance out the exterior. Each problem was tackled one by one, leaving no room for compromise, resulting in a high-grade, fully customized bike.

Bodyworks

Painted with a marvelous flare at YF design. The windshield is a marvelous × Zero Gravity Double Bubble, and the side covers are also shape-corrected to match the line of the tank (made of aluminum by Beater) for a balanced look.

The seat is Marvelous Supreme SP. Necessary parts and of high quality are well incorporated.

Handle

The mirror is the Magical Racing NK-1 with a carbon monocoque body, and the handle is set as a bar-type with Power Builder handlebars. In the meter section, there are also Yoshimura Progress meters and a gear position indicator. The left and right master cylinders are Brembo RCS.

Engine

The engine is based on the last model in the series, the ZRX1200 DAEG. Fuel supply is changed from DAEG stock FI to carburetor. A dual stack funnel version of the Yoshimura FCR-MJN carburetor was set up as specified by the owner.

The DAEG engine was fully checked and mounted on a JAM x Bosner 81mm piston and cylinder kit (1224㏄) with H-section connecting rods, KENT cam, TSS slipper clutch, and Gun-Kote finish on the exterior. A Marvelous x Wheelie clutch cover (RX coated finish), Wheelie billet cylinder head cover, and Active sliders were also assembled.

Intake & Exhaust

The exhaust system is a Marvelous x Nojima Engineering TYPE-SC (Spiral Collector) with Conical Goldie Titanium.
