Reads more like a Kiwi fucked him in the arse.

Solid evidence around too if you look.

I've avoided getting involved in all the other sites as they publicly hold kangaroo court on the internet. It is easy to flambé any business, esp if it has fallen down. Emotions get heated when money is involved. There are always two sides to every story & it is sure that we will never hear both with enough evidence of what is closer to the truth.

It was a brave move to try start this business, who else is promoting 2 strokes for the road? But let's not just jump on everything we read & write some of the hateful comments written on some of the other sites. perhaps KB can be a little more sophisticated this once? (who am I kidding again?)


Anyhoo summer is coming & after the next racebike is back together I need to get mine sorted out. Fortunately having gone my own way I've avoided some of the issues.

Well looks like Steve has decided that the aprilla forum devulgense (ok that's not a real word) was a mistake & its run its course, so lets not try to open kangaroo court here. Really it isn't our business unless we are waiting for parts (I have mine & I'm likely one of the only KBrs, well maybe 2 others I know of).

I found those comments about vibration with the 90 degree crank interesting, a guy I know did a 90 degree crank for his reverse cylinder TZ250 and changed it back to 180 because of vibration problems

Phew, I may have dodged a bullet there. I looked at that site and then decided to go the way of the NSR. 'Wobbly' , whoever that is, sounds like a nutter!

Um - lets face it anyone wanting to build a giant two stroke street bikes got to have a bit of a whiff of 'nutter' about them don't they? Trouble is nutters come in many flavours...
