Searching on the web for lammy 5 speed gearboxes. I found some info about the Omega and Tino ones and some other info about the MB 5 speed gearbox ( never comercialized). Is it Tinos one avaliable? I´never had one in my hands so I will like to know about the diferent models sold over the years, ratios..... any info wellcome. Just courious :bigsm:
I found this ratios for the Tinos versión:
1st: 50/10
2nd: 42/12
3rd: 39/15
4th: 35/19
5th: 33/21
Basically GP150 1-4 with SX200 5 gear, was Tinos one similar?

I think mb said he would do a short production run of 10 for approx £1500.... if there was eneough interest. A lot of money for sure but i think it was developed with a high end specialist company and as such was exspensive. I think 2 were produced with one going out to a good customer of theirs.
Would love to know how the box works on the road in a big tuned engine be it a tourqey tourer or racer....
anyone know who the lucky man was?

Here some Tinos 5 speed gearbox pics I could find on the net:
I read that Tinos gearbox is a copy of Omegas one.

Ive rode some badly tuned engines which rev like mad through the gears and die in 4th,this probably would solve that but may be cheaper to just get another barrel done.

Don't really need one, but I'd like one.

theres absolutely no need for a five speed box. ive no idea what anyones going on about. if you want to save fuel then maybe you should put the gearbox money in a pot and use that to subsidize your fuel bill. my Lammy gets to a spitting distance of 70 in 3rd and cruises at 65 at around 4000 revs (well maybe), i mean its not exactly sending me deaf at that. whats the point of answering questions nobody asked. as pointless as fitting three holes on a bird who wont let you bang her up the shitter. pointless.pointless.POINTLESS!.
