Wow! It's gone! £450 quid, I only posted the application yesterday afternoon. Money left my bank at 9:31 this morning! I'm in shock!

As you opened the throttle you got nothing...nothing...nothing...nothing...WHEELIE!!!
Great fun
TZR or DT? I had the TZR. Ran it for a year with a 'broken' valve then fitted a proper YPVS system to it. Had a TDR 250 for a year too, that was mental.

Anyway thread jack aborted....

Neither - it was an SDR200
It was a fun little bike, but had a stupidly small tank range, and was impossible to source spares for. Spent more time pushing it than riding it!

I'm a bit jealous of your TZR/TDR. Always fancied one of the 250 stroker sports bikes, but never got round to it, and they seem to fetch silly money now

Anyway, what was this thread about again?

Realistically on a bit of a hiatus. Currently in temporary accommodation as my home is undergoing a massive rebuild. Ironically I'm now living close to my build as I'm at my in laws and it's in their garage (although part of my house rebuild includes me getting a garage!) but I've got even less time to work on it because I'm doing work on the house!!

Hope to ship chassis and engine over to Phil Eagle in the New Year so he can fabricate my engine mounts and exhuast system then hopefully get it 'home' when I move back in and get some bodywork on it!!
