Coooooooool :D:D:D:D:D:D

I'd love a go on the 350 if that's possible at some point.

Are they expensive to buy? A runner preferably?

Thanks Phil ;)

Yeah me too please Phil?! That would be cool.

What tyres do you run them on? How sticky are they and how do they compare with the diablo's?

I've been threatening to bring the 350 to a dsc trackday but something gets in the way each time - like not being able to go :sniff:
However, the offer for anyone to ride it is still open, its just my organisation that stops it happening.

The tyres are a bit narrower than you are used to :D but they are proper race rubber, usually with the same compound as last years superbike tyres.
I use Avon Venoms, 90/90x18 front and 120/80x18 rear, which are made in wiltshire I believe !
The compound seems quite similar to the diablos actually, which is a good testimony to the diablos.
Its the brakes that are the biggest difference ... I'm still trying to come to terms with the dd brakes :D

DOM my mate races one.

Cool. Would like to just see one too, I fink they're gorgeous!!!

Always liked that style race bikes :cool:

I've got almost enough to make another one Dom, if you're interested.
It needs a piston, crank, con-rod, 3rd gear and probably a straight-cut primary drive. :P

HELP!!!

Can someone translate that?

:lol::lol:

I'd love to Phil, but at the moment I'm skinter than a skint thing that is very skint!!!

Hopefully things will be better in a month or 2, and then I may start looking around.

I'll rack your brains during the season ;)

nice bikes.
Interesting about the tyres though.
I used to scrape out sidestands, centrestands and footpegs all through the eighties on small rubber. Back then a 120 was a big deal. My old Z550 had 4.25's on it and never slipped once even under much duress.
And yet on modern tyres I've had a few 'moments', Strange.
