my last bid anyway.....
:buggerd:

[k14]

Why are you guys bidding this early on it? It doesn't close for another week, so there isn't any point bidding on it till next friday morning, just before it closes.

for the fun of it.....
and to push the price up for WT (if I cant have it, someone will pay) :eyepoke:

[gav]

So WT, is it a track bike that hasnt actually been on the track?

[White trash]

Nope. I've had it on the track a few times. It's bloody awesome.

At a funday last year, The Peoples hero and myself swapped bikes for a session and even he rated it. It's a laugh and surprisingly fast!

[Ghost Lemur]

Sitting a toohundy now. That's almost a brazilian coffee plantation that is.

BTW I take it the top speed is 160MPH? It just says 160 in reply to some ones question.

who wants to put bets on what it'll reach?

If it could pull 160MPH I give him $4k for it now, and ask where the NoS bottle, Turbocharger, and team of little elves that make it go so quick were. I think that would be 160km/hr.

SRX600 is a single cylinder thing what was very popular in Churmany. But no one bought them anywhere else, which now makes them desirable because they are a lot of fun. Used to work with a bloke who had two and he loved them even though he was shaped a bit like a water buffalo and was twice as heavy as said buffalo.

SRX600 dyno chart.

Green = power/torque at backwheel
Blue = power/torque at gearbox sprocket
Red = power/torque at crank

I think I saw one in Perth on my last visit there (1999-ish). If that's what it was (that was many years ago, and my memory is weak, and my brain dim, or vice-versa), then it were mega (whatever the hell that means).
That there dyno chart was scary; I know (as in I learned it, but so what) that every transfer of torque through a right-angle sucks up power, and that there are frictional losses, and a whole bunch of agents sticking their sticky paws out for a free share (damned parasites), but to actually see it graphically represented is another thing. This thing, in fact.

i had one for a while - sold it to my best friend who still owns it.
it had yoshimura rear shocks and with a new set of fork springs and heavier oil was one of the best handling bikes i owned.
was a biiiaaaatch to start though - especially when hot.
they have a wierd dual carb setup that makes new carb ideas very expensive...
i always thought the motor would be good in a TZ or TZR frame, as the srx has spindly little rims and the brakes aren't much chop either.

there's good info on srxs on thumperpage.com too:

The SRX uses the XT/TT 600 motor,most have kick start,but I have seen some with electric.Different gearbox ratios and weaker head with smaller valves than the XT.Just a reminder WT - the motor is mine !!!!

well here a couple of piles of shit for spare parts..... may be I should start a auction thing too.
#86 is a 86TZR with XT550, the red/green shitter is a SRX600 in a 91TZR frame and you will see a bunch of other crap including a XJ turbo and a couple of 750 4's

[gav]

Really? So is that SRX in the 91 TZR a runner? doesnt look it?
So WT, how much did you hope to get for the SRX?

Congrats Jimmy. Went about $800 over my budget but good to see its going to a Wellingtonian.

We'll have to get him to join KB so he can let us know how it goes...
