I raced Karts in Hawkes Bay for 9 years from when i was 9 - won 5 Hawkes Bay titles = numerous other events etc. We then sold up and i brought a TE71 corolla which we caged, race seats harnesses etc and used at the Car club for 3 years.
After becoming a courier driver and buying a house the courier thing basically made me broke and had to sell up.
Then brought into this,
Yet another project - have co owned this beast for about 6 years - was going well until someone blew the bottom end. just getting the wiring and such sorted then we are go again.
Was used in the 80's as a Super car Build for going fast at circuits such as Pukekoe and Manfield.
Was told it used to do over 230kph - by old driver.
Is quite rare now days being twin cylinder - most are single - Is a Yamaha 250cc 2 stroke.

Is a Yamaha 250cc 2 stroke.
5 speed box
Disc Brakes all round
Side pod is actually the fuel tank - Scary if you had someone drill you in the side :fire:
Seating position is on a queer angle due to engine width.
Used to run Methanol -but the carbs were obviously to big and we put 250cc yamy carbs on.
Fuel pump looks like a datto one and works of a cam on the rear axle - IE if your not moving you'll run outta gas.
Ive drivin it a couple of times - trys to lift front wheels off the ground and three wheels (front off the deck) round most corners on a sprint circut.
Ill update this wheel ive got it running and take some vids
