Hopefully sometime soon tim and i will get our collective asses into gear and get the weapon back out on the track.

anyway, here are a couple of photos.

she's not all that fast in a straight line but FARK ME it's quick round the corners

for those of you who dont know its a yamaha tzr chassis, rgv wheels & suspension, and xr600 engine thats been bored to 654 and worked to within an inch of its life

Very cool Phil.

So what sort of power does the modded XR motor make? Is it comparable to the later 450 singles?

A guy I know up here has a RS125 frame with a CR500 2 smoker in it, should be pretty fast I reckon.

Funniest thing about monos is that they sound like they are going so bloody slow, but when you watch them they are hauling.
