Nice DKW, 250 split single, crankcase supercharged. I think 42HP back then? Very poor fuel milage though. It would be nice to have one of these in the lounge.

$220000 US Nice though, I will stick to the pics..........

I was just reading a article on the Coworth Norton
One thing suddenly struck me.
It seems Ken Duckworth got the belt drive system right first time, maybe the Britten should have used the same system.

i beg to differ, re the Cossie...When Rob Phyllis rode it at daytona, he persisted in running it at an RPM which sparked an odd frequency wave in the belts - which broke them. From memory, i think they ran out of valves at that meeting.
It certainly wasn't trouble free.
i understand that if there had been more development on the Britten, the cam drive would probably have gone to chain. Less space used and more reliable. closer valve to piston possible too as the belts needed big clearances to accomodate length variations.

I was meaning the single belt and gear reduction to the cams. The cossie had the other issue because they also drove the heavy rear balancer.
The ultimate conventional control is the gear drive, I think given time the Britten would have gone pneumatic though.

I will post a pic

Husaberg, I'd love to be able to have a few days to look through your library.

It'll all soon be on line anyway - if KB has enough storage space...

I just want to go through his old man's sheds with a wheelbarrow. And a strong young bugger to do the lifting....

It was some sort of powered trailer for Manapori or something.
