Kim Newcombe January 2, 1944 - August 14, 1973, was a Grand Prix motorcycle road racer from New Zealand. Born in the town of Nelson, Newcombe grew up in Auckland, then moved to Australia first Brisbane, then Melbourne in 1963, and subsequently moved to Europe in 1968. He competed in the 500cc Grand Prix World Championship finishing second to Phil Read in the 1973 season. Along with fellow racer, John Dodds, he developed a motorcycle using a two-stroke outboard motor designed by Dieter König. He and the König were the first to challenge the dominance of the MV Agustas after the departure of Honda from Grand Prix competition at the end of the 1967 season. In contrast to his main competitors, Newcombe was credited with the distinction of developing, building, maintaining, and riding the Konig machine in competition.
