Is that yours Phil?

I test rode a 650 Pantah and wanted to buy it but didn't quite have the cash to do the deal in the end. I would dearly love to ride something like that, or an F1, around a track I knew well.

In fact, I really want to buy an F1!

It depends on the state of tune but not really more than what we're running in the two different classes.

What the difference is, is that they were built for racing in mind and the chassis reflects that. I'd love to have a go on one. The chassis is in a much better situation that the monsters or whatever that are being piloted currently.

I'll quite happily ride a tt2 next year if Grahame wants to hook me up. Having said that I'm quite happy with what he currently IS building me. So I no complain!

Oh I forgot to add. The F1 is a 750 and the tt2 was a 600. So intrinsically that's the difference - unless someone can't point us in the right direction. I'm hardly an authority on this subject but I'd love to know more.

Most of the 750 F1's are road bikes weighing about 180kg, with a number of the special editions having alloy tanks (170kg ish) and higher-tune engines which go a bit better but are collectors items.
The TT2-replicas are based on race chassis from verlicchi and harris and weigh 140kg (ish) and there really arnt many around at all.
Mine is currrently not on the road as it wont run properly above 5000
and all my time is taken up sorting the proper race bikes

When I was talking with Steve Harris a while back he told me he still makes the TT2 frame and has one himself.

That pic does look good
