Notes:Ridden to 5th place at the notorious Nurburgring long track - 27km's of it - this bike was also raced in Grand Prix races and the rider and bike finished 2nd in the 1970 World Championship class with 62 points. An FIM medal will go with this bike. In the 1990's the bike was updated with and alloy fuel tank, Ignitek ignition, self generation advance / retard function, a new 4 transfer cylinder and cylinder head with modern internal shape. Also fitted was a Wisco piston and a 44mm Mikuni round slide carburettor. The bike runs on methanol, the needle jet and main jets will be supplied to convert to run on race fuel if required. The engine has been dyno tested and runs 66hp at the rear wheel at 9,000rpm. The bike has fully adjustable rear shocks and Ohlins steering damper, Cereani front forks, and new top and bottom yokes to the front forks so it turns more like a modern bike. The bike also has front disk brakes, master cylinder, and caliper, plus a new crankshaft from a Frontera, new 6 speed gearbox and clutch from Nova in the UK. The bike has been professionally painted and will be supplied with a range of front and rear sprockets. Not for the faint hearted this one!
