    The Insanisaurus is a 1979 Kawasaki Z1300, with the following modifications:
    Engine: Bored out and fitted with Honda CBX pistons to give 1500cc. Fitted
    with Garrett T3 turbocharger, using a Weber 45 side-draught carb mounted on
    a custom-made inlet manifold and airbox. This setup is estimated to give
    250bhp, when originally built it was fitted with nitrous oxide for 400bhp,
    but this was considered too silly for words. The inlet manifold is still set
    up to accept nitrous, however. Exhaust is custom-built slash-cut with
    limited baffles. Chassis: Standard Z1300 frame, fitted with custom built 8"
    over swinging arm with additional bracing for the drive shaft. Front end,
    the forks and wheel are from an FZR1000, with fittings for an additional
    pair of brake calipers run from a car master cylinder - currently the bike
    runs just the normal two brake calipers, as the four caliper setup needed
    some tweaking. All parts supplied to re-instate this, however. I have owned
    this bike for a few years now, after buying it from the original builder. It
    is a real hoot to ride, with more power than you could ever want. Currently,
    it has an oil leak from the turbo scavenge pump, and the carb needs a
    clean-out, so I'm offering it for sale at a low price to clear some space
    and raise funds for my next project. It can be viewed in Carmarthen, South
    West Wales, and I will deliver it around the countryside for a contribution
    to fuel costs.

    well we can be sure of it spinning the wheels ( rear) anything else is
    superfluous

    don't you mean "wheel" ? Unless it's got training wheels with drive to them hidden in the picture,
    i dont see more than one rear wheel.
