THE 240HP TURBOCHARGED SUZUKI BANDIT 1100 JUSTIN BUILT

[@superzuki5831]

You hired the right man to compliment your team. Looking forward to the Dyno test.

[@metalgeniusjoe5602]

The talent and crew you have working down there is unbelievable and commendable. And people wonder why Kaplan Cycles is the best out there is the #1 KZbin motorcycle channel on the planet!

[@sonnyseabury4051]

I agree Joe, and your talent with metal work is insane and over the top. You have a serious God Given Talent, Joe. I love all of the custom creations you made for Ken. You are to Metal what Ken and his guys are to motorcycles. Kaplan America is definitely the #1 moyorcycle channel on You Tube. It amazes me that they don't have 1 million subscribers. Much Love and Respect, Joe, from New Orleans, La. Ps. Like I tell Jr all of the time...I would love to see Ken Sr and Ken Jr on the cover of Forbes Magazine one day.

That is a beautiful and sick bike Justin has. His level of knowledge with motorcycle mechanics is unheard of for his age. The Suzuki Bandits were highly rated bikes for their time. I always loved them, but my favorite was my former 2007 Honda 919 Hornet, in Glory Red, that I had for quite a few years. You would have loved my bike, brother. I got her up to 135mph, one night on the interstate. The scary part about it was that, even at 135mph, the bike was pulling hard, and had more unused power left. 135mph was more than fast enough for me, but I bet that 919 Hornet, could have done an honest 150mph for a top speed. Thanks for this awesome video, brother.

Justin seems like a great guy. Smart, well spoken, capable, and he's young. He has a bright future ahead of him. Great addition to the team! And it's always a pleasure to see Billy on the channel. He's an absolute legend. I hope he's ok. I've heard Lime disease can be awful to deal with.

[@RealHooksy]

Yes, I think you’re onto a winner there Ken. He’s a keeper. We’ll done Justin, that’s a nice bike👍

[@propdoctor21564]

What an amazing machine. I have always liked those Bandits... Also love that ZRX

[@Daniel-ig9cq]

Incredible bike... love to see what people do when they aren't afraid to "improve" on what you're given: the factory doesn't always get it right but a good shade tree engineer can make a bike SO much better than stock... Awesome work Justin, killer bike and not your everyday custom to boot 😈🤘

[@chE3z1]

The original engineers had to think about the end cost and emissions and all that. Your only limits are your wallet and your financial responsibility 😁

[@michaellambert3067]

Justin, at a very young age, is a very talented motorcycle mechanic. Maybe you folks should call Bill Ironman Bill from now on!

[@jethrox827]

All bikes should be like this 👍

[@rickhayes9923]

Hey Ken .. Billy is a absolute legend and such a character.. would be great if you done a video detailing his IOM races..the bikes he rode etc..and also great work from Justin..

[@paulfleming4710]

Turbo bikes are a blast to play on. I loved my 2008 hayabusa turboed bike

[@richardmorris6365]

I've been top speed on Kawasaki 1000s & Honda 900f,it was around 140+ & I'd never do it again. Anything can happen & happen fast @ those speeds. Bill is an unbelievable Ironman for his accomplishments & in fact the three of you are..

[@traviskitchen3252]

Nice addition to the crew here. Love you guys Ken 👊🏻

[@jimmyconner2444]

I had a 99 Kawasaki 1100 just like his and it was the best bike I ever had. Sold it to my buddy and he totalled it and had to be Air lifted to hospital!

[@NewDocs77]

His mechanic skills are awesome

[@brennan77]

This is so great. My first street bike was a cb750 and my second was a 2002 Bandit 1200.

[@YetiShots]

Id get the exhaust further away from the case. awesome bike ! great content!

[@chrisfitzmaurice7484]

Like how they're keeping the Big Guy in the conversation!

[@jeffgranger1137]

looks like billy needs fork seals

[@benthebigguy921]

That is a great Bike btw love the content Keep up the great work ken

[@KaplanCycles]

Thanks, will do!

[@captainaxle438]

Hope to see SR wring it out proper

[@joshuaowens4797]

Cool bike!

[@BIKELIFEAP]

Get me in touch with this man(Bandit) I bought a bandit today and I’m in need of him. I pay well. I’ll pay whatever he says. I need him, and the scary thing is, it’s already bloody fast 💨

[@toddjacobs5660]

I'd like to have that Suzuki , that thing has power .. Would like to have an H2 Kaw also lol

[@timothyvaher2421]

Really. It looks like an engine project platform at an engineering college. Justin just happened to put it on a motorcycle frame 😂. But ride it?! Leonardo Da Vinci has come back as a build tech @ Kaplan's 🏍️ 😳

[@josklos2798]

lyme ... or is he vaccinated with the mrna ?

[@OM-sb2bd]

Almost perfect … needs a center stand 😂🤘🏻

[@JesusSparacino]

Hes just a straight up bad@ss mf absolute masterpiece of a machine

[@headkick100]

[@bobg1219]

Nice build Justin!

[@williamruhe1654]

Good stuff 👍👍

[@minibikemadman]

i just got back from north conway friggin love it up there

[@T3-RIDER]

Bandit 1200* 😂

[@brennan77]

I was about to say! The only GSXR based on the same motor was 1100.

[@majorlee1]

Adrenaline machine for sure!

[@gordonwareham]

FBM stands for Fast By Me. It’s a UK 🇬🇧 Company run and owned by Dave Dunlop he’s the GOAT. I’m sure he’d like to know how you had correct his work 🤔

[@booiedeus8539]

Ken💪💪💪💪💪 crazy bike😉

[@williampolatsek702]

sick BRO sick

[@vincentferrara5032]

Miss my bandit 1200 1997 mine was piped and jetted polished Corbin seat lot of money wish I never sold it

[@MrFunboy777]

I have an 05 bandit1200 and was thinking about doing this, how much did the build cost?

[@sparkoceanic]

When you put the video out looking for someone with knowlege and passion for bikes, i didn't expect you to find someone so exact. When other babies have plastic and wooden toys, this kid was probably teething on a conrod

[@NewDocs77]

Holy Moly

[@stephenmacdonald912]

That thing would eat my r1

[@StevieBoyAndHisToyz]

Ken Kaplan 2024 !!!

[@boyVAANmestreech]

all hail its a freakn rock sheep

[@GrowshopBenidorm]

take a look to suzuki b-king to see a wild animal....without turbo... XD

[@Gotrichinminutes]

so the motor isn’t FULLY built

[@maroll1564]

Uh..

[@maljohn1414]

I owned the exact bike new but found it batshit boring so traded it on new 2005 ZZR1200, over here in New Zealand.

[@yeahright9001]

Is all good in the Kaplan Hood? Haven't seen JR in a vid for quite awhile? Hopefully he's just chilling with his smoke show GF and taking a vacation?

[@KaplanCycles]

Yes he is
