Any model except the 89-90 J or K models.

The short stroke motor was the worst of them. I'm partial to the F-G or the L myself.

How about this one mate?

If I remember correctly you raced this exact same one at the trentham 1/4 mile drags about 13 years ago for fastest 750 in its class :yes:

What was i thinking..my poor clutch. The poor guy who bought it never knew it had been Maired haha.

But if you do that then you're also condemning yourself to unnecessary rap music and jumping over fences from a flat start.

Ha ha :) Have you seen the movie? If you can stand it there are some funny (read ridiculous) parts in it.

If anyone wants to learn how to bunny hop a 200kg motorcycle over a 5 foot high fence then Ice is your man :)
