Bloor building Kawi

By John Hopkins

TORONTO, ON -- Noted tuner and drag racer Jeff Bloor of Cycle Max Service has completed a deal with Canadian Kawasaki Motors to run a ZX-14R in the Heads Up Shootout class this summer.

In an email to Inside Motorcycles Bloor said he hopes to build, “the quickest street legal Kawi in Canada.

“With Hindle Exhaust building us the newest generation Sidewinder exhaust and a multi-stage nitrous system, some minor engine mods performed by Gord Bush Performance, we hope to have the bike in the 400 hp area.”

Bloor said he will be announcing a full schedule and sponsor list in the near future.

Bloor made the announcement just after returning from the first of a planned series of Cycle Max customer track days in Jennings, FL Feb. 21-23. Cycle Max provided six customers with flight, hotel, ground transport, riding gear and personal training from Superbike star Frank Trombino.

“The customers were treated as if they were all factory riders with full pit support,” Bloor said. “They only need ride and get faster.”

Bloor and Cycle Max have booked a second event at Barber Motorsport Park in Alabama Mar. 4-5. More details are available at www.cyclemax.ca.
