    Green is for Go!
    Red means Stop.
    Is it a coincidence that Italians like Red and their electrics stop?

    ER6 is better than an SV you say...................... HaHa, both are built of butter.
    yeah I spent many hours sanding off all the frag from the inside of the cases, it was like they used playdough to make the moulds I swear

    Aprilia 550 would have to be the least fragile I reacon.

    Wonder if Crazymans bike will be any different to Jasons. Isn't this building a bike using the most competitive options under the current interpetation of the F3 rules citing previously legal bikes?

    Best currently legal F3 motor. A 600 cut down to a triple, with custom crank and cams to fire at 240 degrees. In my opinion anyway. Modern fuel injection and components, would be unbeatable methinks.

    kerry dukey did that years ago (-: l think a 450 /4 is still better but needs fuel injection with a nice frame. but a rg400 built right would be the best but l just don't think its the right class for it

    There's an engine builder in Auckland who made a screamer R450. Went ok, but when it failed he dropped a slug as a temporary measure till he got another screamer done. Triple went so much better, he has stuck with it.

    Two stroke might be the way to go...if you can get through a season without a dnf of course.
