No, not given up. There's a frame here that it'll never fit into. It's going in that. I have some USD forks for it too. You know you can't win without them. Anyway, I like an engineering challenge. Engines just aren't my thing.

The ZXR/F6 has had it's first run. Very short due to the flywheel coming loose, but promising. Seemed to have quite a bit of pull for such an old school engine. It even got on the pipe which really surprised me - and that's when it stopped.

The flywheel is now fixed and it's all ready for it's next test on the 1st March.

The ZXR project has been shelved. The frame and motor live on. Watch for the TZRF6 thread.

Basically the ZXR250A frame is too heavy to use as a bucket and 'something better' has come along as a frame - a TZR250 1KT. The TZR and F6 have joined forces and run. A little fibreglass and paint and we'll be at the track.

The ZXR frame has found 'something interesting' as a powerplant. But that's under wraps till it's completed.
