Yep two actually. One has already designed the paint scheme for the RS. Orange silver and black apparently. I'm cool with that.

Yeh I could not resist. You don't see many those for sale in NZ. Bit of a work of art. Good lessons to learn from studying the frame and setup.

The other night after having a quite chat with the bike. It told me to save up my dollars and buy it a nice KTM 450 6 speed, and oh so gently make it fit. Then race it like it was born to do. Just the little problem of the 4k I need to do the job.

no thats the pidgeon english it speaks!

it said copy my frame make your own version based of my geomtry put a KTM motor in! and said put a original motor back in me as I am going to be worth a shit load of moeny in a few years time since 250gp is now dead.

And the fact as a 250GP bike I am much faster and will be alot cooler to ride than what a KTM engine will ever be, and that the KTM really deserves to be in a 125gp style frame

I see. That could have been what it was saying. It would be a shit load easier. If I had and engine.

Well its taken a while but the new engine is now fixed and in the bike. Just took it for a spin up the road and she rips. Engine its self has lost 3kg with ditching balance shaft and lighting the shit out of the crank and flywheel. It rev's up hard and has plenty more toque. Also new wheels are nearly on just waiting for some sprockets and RS cush drive rubbers. Running the RS250 rear break made up a little spacer that holds it all together will make for easy wheel changes. Should all be done by BOB. Some pis below. Bike is more born again than a birthday. Born again faster and lighter.
