Howerton and Baer Kawasakis

Marcus Moto sent us the photo of the silver ER-6. At first I assumed it was a racer then realised it was a wild street tracker, hence the front brake. It got me looking for other Howerton bikes. The 62 bike is Luke Gough's Howerton Kawasaki. Read more about these bikes at Stu's Shots.
We've already featured two Kawasaki ER-6 GNC racers in Sideburn (theIndy and Springfield-winning Werner Springsteen Ninja in SB7 and Johnny Lewis's Scott Motorsports in SB9).
The blue bike is the Baer Racing Kawasaki. Not sure about the 1990s custom wheels on one of the bikes, though. I'd stick to the PMs.
There are lots of different ways to skin the Kwak cat. G
All the photos except the silver one are from Poppawheelie.

  1. I did a series on the Howerton/Gough Kawasaki at the end of December. The silver bike is one of the shots that Rick Howerton/Howerton Products let me use as part of the 3-part series. It's a real beautiful piece!

  3. Marcus-

    He's working on getting the one in the pic legal for street. Howerton and the team also talked about riding it over to Springfield and then taking off the electrics and front brake and go racing, just like they used to do in the old days.
    Great guy to talk to with a lot of enthusiasm for the sport!
