I suspect this project may well get ridden too, Grahame :D

That's a Taffy JL3 if I'm not mistaken?

Out of interest, what model is it actually 8-)

Yes ridden and thrashed is my concept for this to see how much abuse
it can take.......Its a Italian SX200 engine with a cyclone box and a
nicely tuned old TS1 Kit thats been laying around for a few years now.
35mm TMX and yes an old Taffy pipe which burbles real nice .....
SX200 spanish frame and loop and Jet 200 legshield and front fender.
Already been pulled by the old Bill on its initial run round Queens boro
where my studio is.............. wanting to know what was in it to make
it go so fast 8-) Boy does It Move..... 8-)

Old Taffy/JL3 type pipe will really limit the BHP figures that you can claim!

.... but it will ride really nicely and pull a decent 4th (sorry, 5th) gear ratio for a good top speed at reasonably low revs, with a great spread of power from standing start to flat out and everything in between.

Nice bastard ;)

didn't claim any BHP figures A :D just that its fast :D Got 75 MPH out of it on Friday
I reckon thats the upper limit , but yes ,as you rightly point out a nice spread of power
and bags of torque 3rd through 5th 8-) ...... G.
