Nice looking bikes, too bad he did not have a decent motor to work with, imagine it with some decent hp.

 

According to this months Motorcyclist Mag, the engine puts out a claimed 175 HP and 97 Ft Lbs of torque, with the bike having a claimed curb weight of 384 lbs (or about 175 kg for those who don't know lbs). Not too shabby.

 

Not at all Paco , it hauls azz

 

Not too shabby, but only 175hp fromm 1190cc? I know an old bloke who said his 30 odd year old kwaka put out 200hp!

 

Yeah, but that had a hairdryer and 28 lbs of boost.

Recipe for short engine/rider life.

Ohh ****, he's still around, must have been the engine that had a short life.
