The bike looks better in the flesh than any of the pictures i have seen! I have been lucky enough to have been involved with the project from its early conception,it has incorporated some real nice twists in the chassis department, the frame is constructed in chrome moly,by a drag race colleague of mine, with subtle geometry alterations compared to standard. I supplied all the non 'Suzuki' engine tuning parts used in the 2 motors prepared by Suzuki and Nathan Columbi. Both motors have proved fast and reliable, 1170cc capacity.

Hi Nick, I had a very good look around this bike at the MCN show at the Excel London back in Feb this year and spent a very informative 1/2 hour with Jon from Race Tech about all the work that has gone in to building the bike and the exhausts they make are just a bit tasty. Getting the chance to have a close look showed just how skilled some people are with their hands and the wealth of knowledge that is available when it comes to building quality race bikes. I did ask if we could start it but my request was declined. I also asked the wife if I could sell the house to buy one but she said no... A little harsh I thought.Originally posted by nickp View PostThe bike looks better in the flesh than any of the pictures i have seen!
