18+bhp @ 6100 17lb/ft torque @ 4200
running a standard carb with polini air filter kit
and a sip road exhaust.
Its been up geared so cruises at 70 mph topped out at 79 mph on my phone gps, you get nothing for nothing the fuel economy on my thrash run was 35 mpg :o :o
it's not the consumption its the 50 mile range from a standard tank, anyone know if larger tanks have been made and I want to keep the oil injection.
Nearly forgot to mention Mr Al Terry (Diablo) it was his skill and know how that produced a perfect rally going scooter.
Shame I don't like rallies :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
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

Just had a look at sip and didn't see any. How about a drop in long range tank for p series. Anyone make those?

If it does 35 on a 'thrash' run, what does it do when riding normally?

Been out on my Polini 220 that Diablo dropped off last week. Think very similar build spec. Sounds awesome with the polini filter !

Sits at 70mph all day long , pulls up hills into head wind without getting out of breath. Goes off the clock full throttle . The torque is amazing like no other tuned engine ive every ridden.


With an engine build this good who cares about petrol , its far better consumtion than my Malossi 220. Worse case senario ill carry an extra 5 litre can.

Couldnt be happier and have a smile on my face every time i ride it !!!

I've got a sip 9.5 litre tank which is basically a rally 200 top welded to a p-range bottom, it would fit a p-range but no autolube and would probably govern what type of seat you use due to the bulge and where the filler cap is.

There used to be some 13 litre p-range tanks (not sip) ,the extra bit welded to the bottom so deep in the frame, but i think they were not without problems regarding fuel flow ,so a pump would be essential on those.

The oil tank can obviously be placed elsewhere, an upside-down 2-stroke oil bottle next to the sparewheel with a hose attached to the cap would even do it although I'm sure there are more suitable solutions.
