I was probably too close to events here - but I still cringe when someone quotes John Britten as a reason for doing something.
Most of us now use him as an example for not doing something...
Husa - There seem to have been two versions of the Ossa/Yankee twin. I've got a pic somewhere of the aircooled engine you posted in a dirt bike.
I've also got a road test of the pre-production road bike - with a horizontal, water-cooled engine.
Tony's carbon bike was based on 400 Geometry. He'd had several and liked the handling. First pic I've seen with the downdraft carbs shown. Definitely a ZZR - which at that time weren't sold here.
I believe the engine came through Lawton and Boyle via Kawasaki NZ and may have been a jap market version - or even pre-production.
