Tuned by renowned specialist the late Tony Scott, this ex-Ryan Farquar, McAdoo Racing Kawasaki ZXR600R Supersports production racer set fastest lap at the Isle of Man TT and was a double winner at the Northwest 200 in 2003 as well as scoring many other wins and podium places. At the '03 TT Farquar finished 4th in the Junior 600c race and 3rd in the Production 600 race, with fastest laps of 119. 62mph and 118. 91mph respectively.
From the vendor: "I bought the bike from Howard Cook who lives near Ipswich. He sent me paperwork as evidence of a conversation he had with Stephen Scott, son of tuner Tony Scott, and Ryan Farquar (the rider) who both confirmed it was the correct machine. Stephen provided evidence of the work his father had carried out on the engine. This will be passed on with the bike together with a workshop manual. It also comes with the original paddock stand and a few bits and pieces, mainly sprockets and footrests. I think he (Farquar) did a lot of the Irish rounds on it. Plus, of course, the fastest lap at the TT races." The vendor can also include many DVDs of the relevant races should the successful purchaser so desire. The machine has not seen much use since the end of its racing career and will need careful recommissioning before returning to the road. Offered with a file of correspondence.
