What did you do over the summer? If you’re Allen Millyard, then you’ve been busy putting the finishing touches on your Kawasaki S1 550 Four build and taking it for test rides. Since we’re not him, though, that means we get to simply watch his videos as he documents the process, Tracy’s baked goods, and his back garden wildlife encounters (hurrah).
In this most recent episode, the S1 550 Four is just about ready to go! To start things off, Millyard goes over some of how he built and welded on the expansion chambers for the exhaust, among other things. Then he takes it out for a test ride, which he’s confident will go well—he's had it running a few times prior, it turns out, so there’s no reason to think that it won’t perform up to snuff. Indeed, as we see (and hear), the bike looks like a proper blast to ride.
