Interesting comments. Gutted when my imola went pop. Not happy why it happened or the explanation how but I'll keep that to myself for now. Mines all bolted together except the exhaust flange which I'm waiting to get. Hope I've made the right choice. The write ups seemed good but what do us mere mortals know.

The BGM catalogue states it is a touring tune that has enough meat to tune to 30 odd HP, if that's the case why not sell a tuned version as well? I fitted a 195 to a mates and must say its a nice bit of kit but nothing special by today's standards.

What do you want it to do? Revvy? Torquey? Economic? Race winner or race finisher?
Need more clues..

Most of the guys I go on rides/runs with are TS1 or RB20/250's so to stay somewhere close would be nice rather than meet up at a layby some 20 mins later down the road...if you get me.

Ah the old petrol myth,
Does anybody actually ride more than around 70 miles before theyre arse is killing them and they have to stop??
Long range tanks will get near enough any tuned lammy engine 100 miles non stop, but sod that 70 miles is about my max

mph or km/h? Is it bolt on or tuned? As above what gearing? Sounds like a great kit.

75 mph on the flat albeit flat out and hunched down a little. That is genuine GPS mph and from a box stock kit. I'm delighted with it and have to say back to back with my Mugello it is better in every single respect.
