TS1 and PX stay in the garage (future barn finds) out on the GTS 300 when I go out on a scooter.
I know I’ll get there and back

Of course it matters? WTF?

Anyone actually know the price of the F1 version?[/quote]



If you've got a 30+ hp engine and you want a 5 speed it doesn't matter you have to pay whatever

Ive fitted a cyclone gear box to my rb260. Ive not been far on it, I'm still running it in, as everything in the engine is new. But it is very smooth through the gears & easy to use.

When I spoke to Stuart about the gear box he seemed confident that the cyclone would be able to handle the power, if a 4 speed indian box can then the cyclone should.

Don't be a stupid...what kind of idiot wouldn't ask the price of goods before he purchased? Affordability is the question, not desirability.

I'd be tempted to either wait for more people to try them in high HP engines (I believe there's one going to be used in Group 6 racing this year) or buy the stupidly expensive one. If the Group 6 bike doesn't snap teeth off the standard one in the first few meetings then you'll probably be ok, but let someone else push the boundaries first.

You are a big fan of Viet stuff though aren't you? Wouldn't you rather wait for one of the inevitable copies?

dont you need about 40 bhp for that unless its a cutdown with fairing ?
