Wow that single seater is gorgeous, makes modern F1 cars look like "proper gompers"...yeah they are fast blah blah but they are hideous play station things and as for the racing....well I sooner watch paint dry

Moto GP on the other hand is a different bag of onions and WILL have you on the end of yer seat even shouting at the telebox

mark, i agree your comment on f1, boring, winning a race by being in the pits????? motogp is way better, can have 5 leaders in one lap, i take it you are a bike fan? have you ever raced? i used to race in a national championship, i once beat james whitham & got a push start by foggy in the pits at brands, ah those were the days, sigh

hi mark,
i,d stay away from the kl600 hybrid, the rg400 motor is a weak motor, i,d go for the 750 any day of the week, just check the condition of the sprocket output shaft, they,re a weakness if abused ( all 750,s are abused ). if not using it as a bike then i,d suggest replacing that shaft but think its a motor apart jobbie
the nicest 2 stroke i,ve ridden is an ex korki bollington kwak h1r,1970,s coffin tank & oh so sweet sound when giving it some,the exit pipe size was about size of 1penny coin,i felt honoured to ride it.
ordered my steel today

cheers
andy
