500cc GP Replica thread

[onearmedbandit]

With this bike coming up in my facebook feed recently, and all the other 500cc rep's out there, I figured I'd start a thread so the lovers of these bikes can all have a perv and add others that might be of interest too.

There is no finer replica than Geaorge Beales recreation of the Honda 6 (even if it is not a 500) I would buy the book but 75 pounds plus postage would raise a few eyebrows in the household. Fuck it, should get it anyway.

Years ago i read an article (with heaps of photos) about building the replica Honda 6s - deeply impressive even with a genuine one to copy. i believe they were bought for half a million a piece as soon as they were completed. https://www.rideapart.com/news/49654...rc174-replica/

Re the 500 replicas there is/was a guy near tauranga a year or so back doing a pretty respectable job of building an NSR 500 replica engine using nsr 250 streetbike cranks and pos cr125 cylinders... in the stage it was at back then it looked like the real thing . i'll see if i can find out what progress has been made

I emailed the vendor - book would be 120 pounds inc postage. - $248.20, Think I'll do it, what's the worst that could happen?

I've posted this picture before and I'll never get tired of looking at it, Would make a superb A3 sized poster

Wonder what happened to Nigels RGV? He offered it to me but it really wasn't a roadbike which is what I wanted to build.
Not sure who bought it. Could give him a text but. .

I think it would be lost in the noise surrounding the required lotto win.....

Back in the days of two stroke GP bikes the mechanics used to take a conrod and cut a piece of the little end out in such a way that the conrod functioned as a bottle opener. Alex Briggs produced some aluminium replicas and I bought one, which is as close as I'll get to owning any of that confectionary.

Ha! Nice.
