    Thanks for that. You always wonder where they hide these bikes and we dont seem them till years later. Never seen that Honda RB, must be the NZ 6 hr version. And that Kat, did u notice it was the Kiwi one with big pipes and carbs. Now there the rare ones.

      Yes, I wasn't there long enough to think to ask around. It may have been Carl Coleman's one. He is Mr Katana in respect to that model and knows where they all are and more about them than anybody by all accounts. Rumour has it that he has been working with an established author to get it all into a book of some sort.

            Thanks for posting your great pics, Colin.
            That CBX with the 1100R bodywork is the same project i am 1/4 of the way finished.
            I ask the same question every time i see one...did you get to hear the Britten take a lap?

                    Thanks Colin. Great pictures of wonderful bikes, and I heard that the entries were down a bit this year. They say that two of every vehicle made were sent to New Zealand. Is that Croz's XR69? I thought that he had sold it to an Australian.

                        The XR69 is sexy. Is it an original Suzuki works bike or a replica? Looks amazing!

                          Pretty sure that's Croz's own ex works bike pulled out of the museum where it's been sitting for years.

                                Sorry. That was all of them.

                                Thanks for the thanks everyone. Sorry but I don't know definitive answers to your various queries but the comments by others seem about right from the little I do know re the XR69.

                                MotoGPwerks or GregT may know for sure
