Be quite a few years ago now, probably early nineties

The only belt drive bike I'd like to own would be one of the 750 F1 series

Phil's Alchemy was a RV-1 with a MHR Mille motor :yes: had 92mm bores, Imola cams, 11.5:1 comp, 41.7mm lectron flat slides, & 50mm dia S/S exhaust system. he built in 1990 took it to Frankfurt, ran it in around Bavaria raced a couple of local events then competed in the International BOTT race at Monza finishing 9th and the 1st bevel-drive duke home.
Left the bike in Italy came home to ChCh then in 1992 went back raced the bike at Monza & Assen with a 2nd outright for the rounds. Then brought it back here for the 92-93 bears.
A few bits were interchanged with another Mille that Phil used to work on :yes::innocent:

Piccys are Phil's RV-1, Alchemy Ad, and the RV-1 parts recipient
