Thumbs up ZX6 that needs LOVE! pics soon

I just picked up a 94 zx6 with a 98 zx9 motor. I bought it for 200 bucks with no title, but im getting a title through international title services. It needs alot of love cosmeticly but everything else is in good shape. This is the second kawy I owned. I had a 2001 ke100 that I had since I was 15. I do have plans to turbo it in the future but being 18 I dont have 5 grand to spend on a brand new kit so I am going to custom make a kit to fit around a t25 turbo. Hope all goes well!

Welcome pb. That's an interesting permutation; what are the mounting points for the engine? Just a thought: The zx6 frame is already taking on more HP than it was designed for, with the zx9 engine. Adding a turbo might be the literal "tipping point." I'd get some engineering input before I invested the money and/or wicked into the throttle.
Cool concept, though!!
Again, welcome to the forums. Keep us posted and give us some pics!!
Gear up; stay safe.

I honestly dont know much about the kawys zx models this is my first one, thats why i have joined this forum lol and got a service manual. But I bought it from my neighbor he used to build race kawys and that was going to be his race bike but he got an 08gsxr so he gave up on it. Hes gonna be pissed when I blow past him =]. And thnx again for the warm welcome

Welcome to the site, I'm currently looking for a dual sport for a friends wife, and I keep running into the KE 100. What is you opinion on that bike. Two stroke 100 cc, will it do 55? How was it off road?

Again, welcome to the forums, have fun and see you out there.

The KE 250 was a decent running ride deej. I am trying to get one myself. Not sure on the 100, but you know more on your buddies wifes experience than us.

I had an XL100 that is very similar to the KE100. It would hold 50 but it struggled. Not really a highway bike but good for around town

pboi, that sound like a frankenbike if I have ever heard of one. I would be very leery on putting a turbo on it. As has been said, that frame is already at its max. You could end up with a metal pretzel
