1992 Kawasaki ZZ-R1100
This is about the most original ZZ-R1100 we’ve ever seen! It’s a minter. It’s been stood, and the chap who’d bought it wheeled it out of his garage and was a bit concerned that the brakes weren’t up to scratch, so bought the bike in for us to give it a once-over. In fairness, the brake calipers on these ZZ-Rs were rubbish, and would (and will) happily seize up at the thought of a day of rain, never mind a Winter, but the ones on this bike were spot-on. It wheeled around freely and everything was working perfectly.
We had a look over the rest of the bike, and balanced the carbs. It’s hard comparing bikes like this (20 years old!) to the performance of modern machinery, but if you wanted an original, bog-stock example of an early ’90s hyperbike you’d be hard pushed to find a better example than this.
This ZZ-R's a minter, and completely unmarked after 20 years on the planet...

2010 Triumph Sprint ECU Reprogram
The issues with this bike mainly concern power and power delivery off the bottom especially two-up. It’s been back to the dealer and had the latest factory tune, but the owner wants a little more. First job? Isolate the Lambda sensor and cap off the emissions unit. The bike was then put on the Dyno and we reprogrammed the stock ECU; fuelling at the bottom end has been richened up, taking away the ‘hunting’ snatchiness. Fuelling all the way through the rev range has been optimized and the ignition curve trimmed.

2009 Yamaha R1 Road to Race
To upgrade to race spec we’ve fitted an Öhlins rear shock and MCT have modded the front forks. The engine’s been out and we’ve adjusted the cam timing, ported and skimmed the cylinder head and we’re fitting a set of BSD Performance adjustable bellmouths. It’s also having a YEC race loom and ECU, plus quickshifter.
