    Yeah, he was busy making parts for some other marque to bother. That was early 90's I spoke to him.

    I dunno if he just wants to let sleeping dogs lie and preserve the legend, but I reckon there'd be a fair ol' market for his McIntosh "Bathurst" type frames. There is a huge resurgence in classic/post-classic racing. Harris are churning out XR69 frames as fast as they can make 'em, and I reckon Ken would be rushed off his feet too. It's just a question of whether he wants to be.......

    Ken's like anyone else in business - you make what sells. If there's a dip in the Manx market, he'll make something else.
    Some years back I was approached to make a replica BRS frame to use in racing rather than the original the guy owned. After pricing it up I heard no more. I've since been told that Ken made the guy a fresh frame...If you want Ken's time and attention approach him with cash.....

    nah went out through EBAY. Given that the auction was Aussie wide and they are worth something in Aussie and NZ and pretty well nowhere else my guess is Aussie...

    As I started this thread here's a few facts.
    I found the McIntosh on ebay their US site under suzuki's other. I look at them all you'd be surprised whats 4 sale.
    Yes post classic racing is huge in europe with lots of meets & riders both young & old.
    The big 4 strokes are making a comeback with rep XR69's & RC1100r's etc
    20g Aus $ a steal at that price as you cud either race it or ride it on the road & be the envy of your mates.
