Which 650cc twin to choose for ProTwin or F3?

[wayne]

the wheels on the hyosung are just way tooooo heavy

[White trash]

I see that in the lightweight practice, Hillier was clocked at over 146mph through Sulby speed trap. 146mph on a fucken 650 twin! Christ almighty.

Nuffin wrong with that. My KR1SP was clocked at 143mph at a flying 1/4 way back when...

then it seized and spat you off and you did the last 300m on your back going "ouch"??

OMG thats almost as fast as the Motocyzcz Battery Bike went last year down there!


See the suns coming up over there so we will have some Superbike speeds to compare soon. How much over 200mph?

[Crasherfromwayback]

. How much over 200mph?

10mph over.

I've an NC30 rolling chassis (well its not rolling yet but it could be with a weekends work) if someone wants to measure it up. Or put an ER6 motor in the post to me.

OMG...talk about deja vu...just paint it pink while you're at it....kawa twin in a VFR frame...LOL...repeatedly.

Seriously, the hardest part to accomodate would be the airbox which is ferkin huge. I didn't have a close enough look at GW's bike but I suspect the frame is built around the standard airbox.

The 500 Kawas were doing around 140mph here in NZ back in the day.

Yeah but Tony Mc Murdo's was running on funny gas.

Correct, its a tight fit , but it does. Main reason for frame was weight reduction, which is forced upon you if running a 650 boat anchor of Kawasaki, Suzuki or Hyosung design.... :-)

[codgyoleracer]

Just a way of selling more Hyosungs as race bikes......... only way to make that viable is to set up a one make series. They are eligible for protwin as they are 250 production.... as for contenders for those champs........ need one hell of a rider..............
Ask Jay how hard he had to peddle his Hyosung a couple of years back.

Oh Boy, Jay did look ugly on that.....................But then again Jay is ugly.......... :-)

[crazy man]

wish a new who built my zxr400 l was told it was clocked at 150mph but have know idea who built it . it does have the full race kit in it and did run on some good stuff ones

But Andy's does 165 ?

[Grumph]

First season was on Methanol/Toluene - the frame had to be strengthened before it could handle the 10hp or so extra on Nitro.
i rode it in practise for the GP and being a little (cough) heavier than Tony I could make it flex noticeably.....

My own one with Mark Taylor riding and on Meth/Tol was geared for 140 plus MPH on Wigram and was running into the rev limiter...

i still think that of the 3 "suitable" 650 twins the Kawa has the most potential.

thats pretty slow for a 400 over sized to 750!
