Wow 60 HP from 250cc has got to be some record ?

I've had three four cylinder motorcycle , and don't ever want another one.

The ones I've had were two Hondas (500 and a 750) and one Kawasaki (750).

They all had two things in common.
First those carbs ! getting them timed is no problem but keeping fuel flowing through all those little jets was a problem.
Second and more problematic is that :
They had the cam chain in the middle . So running more cams tends to wear the chain out faster. Also the replacement of said cam chain is a pain in the shop ! I'll take a single cylinder anytime.

I can just imagine the tiny size jets and of having 6 tiny carbs with gas drying in the jets overnight. Sad

Still , it was an engineering marvel ! Wink

I see and feel the Holy Spirit in the world , as does anybody who has eyes to see.

What's more amazing, people are building full size replicas of stuff like this. Was at a vintage festival at Indy a few years ago, and saw 3 replicas of a Parnelli Jones 'AJ Watson Roadster' similar to the one that actually won that race!
Incredible what some peoples spare time can achieve. For inspiration, check out 'Alan Millyard' on youtube for the ultimate in shed-built vehicles.
Cheers! Cool
