This 1976 Kawasaki SR125 was provided by Mark Hilderbrand of Night-mare Racing
(http://www.nightmare-racing.com/). Mark has been in the vintage motocross business for
many years. The past ten years he has been collecting and restoring Kawasaki's. His first
works bike was a 1976 Kawasaki SR250. Mark bought the bike from Gary Semics and later
learned that the bike was previously raced by Jimmy "Jammer" Weinert. Mark has been
collecting works bikes from all over the world ever since.
Seeing the need to provide quality parts and plastics for other enthusiast's restoring
Kawasaki's, Mark started his Internet business Night-mare Racing. If you are restoring a
Kawasaki and are in need of quality reproduction plastics, graphics or advice on what is
right or wrong with your restoration, Night-mare Racing is the place to go! Mark says he has
had the opportunity to meet some very special friends along the way and we here at
VintageWorksBikes are glad to have the opportunity to share some of his collection!
Featured here is a 1976 Kawasaki SR125. This was Kawasaki's first works 125 raced by
Steve Wise and then later in the season by Mickey Kessler. It is believed that Kawasaki
only built two of these bikes with a reed valve engine. The rotary valve version was raced in
Japan. The bike shares nothing from the production model and is a pure work of art from
the Kawasaki works factory!
