Hi
This is to update you on that bikes status
It is finished now and i had my first racing event on it.
From 4th to 6th of may i participated in the "grab the flag" classic bike event on Panninia Circuit in Hungary. Did pretty ok for a brand new bike.
The bike has been finished on Thursday monring 2.30 AM and we left for the racetrack in the late afternoon ( had to go to work inbetween).
After some small teasing issues in friday practice i only had to do some rejetting and regearing on saturday.
SCORED POLE
FINISHED SATURDAY RACE in 2nd
WON SUNDAY RACE
I am very happy with the bikes an my performance
Bike is based on a Yamaha SR500 1980. Only parts left of this original bike are Frame and engine. All the rest is custom made.
Engine displacement is according to the rules 513 ccm, Power output around 45 - 47 HP at the rearwheel. Weight of hte bike including oil (no gas) is 112 Kg with 55.3 front and 56.7 kg rear. The handling of this bike is phenomenal. It just steers there where you think. No wobbling no chattering. Thanks to the suspension mods i did ( R6 Fork, Aluminum rear swingarm, YSS Shocks, Technomagnesio wheels, Brembo brakes). this bike is a real good performer and it look killer. Here you also see which color i have chosen ( painted it by myself in 3 nights)

to that
in 3 month and with a lot of hours. Fairing and seat is a copy in CFK of a Ducati TT750 parts. The tank was made after my design following also Ducati TT lines in CFK as well.
Exhaust system has been build out of 0.7mm carbon steel from my main competitor, very lightweight and beautyful sounding ( megaphone)
