25-28kg. Depending on what's inside or not inside. If you can get it to 85 finished that will be good.What does the heavy bit in the middle weigh ???

Originally it was a square 4 motor but Nige made new top cases to fit the cylinders on in a V formation. He also made the frame himself, as I understand. He also had some rather nicer carbs for it than those pictured. As has been said though there was a lot left to do and the sad thing is it probably never will be finished and run.
There's a V6 750 being worked on, sort of, as well. The crankcase patterns are pretty well done but work has stalled due to other commitments. I understand Nigel has been approached about making the pipes but he's having his nails done that weekend, or something.

click on the arrow for the post preceding and after the ones i have added or ask no mates.Yeah it was. Frame supposedly an RGV500 copy, I was very impressed at its handmade appearance. RG500 converted to V configuration, RGB dry clutch, wanky gearbox, reputably ex works bit suspension etc etc. He offered it to me about 3-4 years back when he realised he would never have time to finish it, & I was tempted. But had to be realistic, it needed some serious skills to finish things like inlet manifolds machined for V config, there was just too much to do custom made. So instead I opted for something simple like a CPI barreled RZ in a hybrid frame.Hey I rode it today.
re the story of the bike?

Plus the atleast 10kg of stuff/fluids you still need to add. Looks good though. I was hopeing to be the first to do a 4 stroke NX4 bike.
That is about what I think the finished weight will be.
If our (latest) project actually happens (see Chris Pickett) we are hopeing for around 78kg as the CBR motor is a few kgs lighter than the FXR.
Was worth a crack
And it will be top heavy just like that dark side project I posted. Was amazing how unbalanced it felt compared with the light weight two stroke RS parked next to it (oh yeah that was mine wasn't it, guess I might be slightly biased

Tided up my desk today and found the full set of results for the 2011 F4 GP when it was run recently on the old Taupo track.

Trumpet blowing time - get the jetting on the money, ie 1232 /1236 degrees F and another RZ400 F3 whizzes around Taupo for 4 - 30 minute sessions.
Wheelspinning off turn one, then running wide on turn 2 even shortshifting as the front is now in the air.
Happy customer, happy builder.
No the plating isnt shit, no, forged pistons dont sieze for no reason and yes I can tune my way out of a brown paper bag.
Issue now is the 160 rear Pirrelli is shreaded, needs more tyre and better than a poxy 4.5" Aprilia alloy road rim.
Bring on the BST carbons and a 180 rear.
Ive got a thing thats unique and new.To prove it I'll have the last laugh on you.Cause instead of one head I got two.And you know two heads are better than one.

And a thin chain, further offset to just miss? Well my 250 chassis build struggled with the 150 tyre, one assumes the April has more room.
Sounds like good problems to have,
Don't you look at my accountant.
He's the only one I've got.
