This bike was actuall 1047cc and used the Euro solid engine mounts as the rubber mounted US engine affected handling too much. The Mile long wheelbase also made turning more problamatic.
Thanks for posting, love those old racers....it took real skill to ride them fast. Question, not to be a grommet counter, but, didn't Honda run AP front brakes and rotors like everybody else?
Yes and no, on the AP brakes. This machine is the 1982 spec, and that season they ran four-piston Nissin calibers, with floating rotors. They were running AP in 1980 and I think through 1981, though the Nissin brakes might have been showing up later that year. They also had gone to the 16" wheel in 82. There is a spectacular video of Mike Baldwin's 1982 bike at the Collection Hall here, a machine I owned for 20 years between acquisition from AHM and its eventual acquisition by the Hall, about ten years ago. You will see the Nissin brakes on that as well. They did still run a Lockheed on the rear disc, or a Spondon, as Baldwin's bike has.
Thanks for the reply....how fortunate to have owned one of those great old bikes. I'm building a replica of Lawson's KZ1000R/S1 now. WebBike sells the AP's and other choice bits..however I can not find the S1 style rear sets anymore. They list them, but are always out of stock. I heard the guy that made these is out of business now.
That's the challenge for these 35 year old beasts. Many of the guys who worked on them, or the subcontracted shops that the factory teams worked with, are out of business or gone. What was always frustrating to me was that there was so much collector interest in the S1s, of which about 30 were manufactured, while the Hondas- real, hand built factory bikes- were hard to find interest in. Maybe it was because they never won a title with the old in line machine, whereas Lawson got two, including on his factory S1 in '82. I got to know many of the mechanics who had worked for Team Honda on these machines, and collected much stuff over the years. Several of these had been given to private racers, or taken home when obsoleted by the Team, a piece here, a frame there, stuff that was going to get thrown out. So a few of these machines dating from 1980 to 1982 ended up in private hands. I have one more in restoration, all but the frame being factory team components. Frame was rebuilt to race spec by the team fabricator, but for a Honda employee who was club racing, so it's almost a factory frame! Good luck on your S1 project.
DAVID Marshall It's genuine. This motorcycle won the victory in Daytona Superbike race in 1982. A rider was Freddie Spencer. It's preserved in Japanese "Honda collection hole" at present.
That thing looks awesome
