Well, Apart from a few of the picture above, The bike was a one off bike. No other like it AFAIK.
It was at one point, a Road legal, Yamaha TZR125 powered pit bike.
Easily capable of nearly 100mph, It was an absolute tool.
Pissed people off at the track too because of it's power/speed.
Was just a great little bike. Just far too unreliable, rebuilds every race etc.
Also I've got my B12 to spend my money on now.  |

TZR engines are good.
But it's a track bike, No time/place to run in the engine after a rebuild.
So it's a case of rebuilding it, racing it, Blowing it up, and rebuilding it again for the next race.
It's how 2 stroke motorsport is.
When it was road legal, It did like 3000 problem free miles.
It's the track days that kill it.
You dont hold a high enough speed for a long enough period of time on an LCRRC race track.
So the rad is never getting sufficient air passing over it.
And a fan would be no good because they are designed to cool a radiator on an idling engine, Not an engine revving it's tits off.
So far I've made around £650 out of the parts.
I've still got another £100 to come for the rear shock and front brake setup.
And after I've rebuilt the engine, It'll fetch me £200 on ebay with the rad, carb and gubbins, are they are quite rare now.
So thats £950 I've made back out of breaking it for parts. Dont forget I sold the V5 at the start of the year for £150. Taking it to £1100, And £80 for the YPVS.
And that only cost me a tenner, and some time opening it up, and rewiring it to work on the 2RK engine.
