band1t1 Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 I have started to build a bile for next years power bike championship series. I desperately mis seeing 2 stroke racing bikes being used properly, with TZ750's and RG500's costing the earth I have decided that an Aprilia RS250 chassis fitted with Ohlins front and back, a nice pair of Marchesini's and most importantly a heavily tuned RG570cc two stroke motor is the way to go. 120bhp and 125Kilos, should be competitive in the open class. I just need a couple of things, I have finished the chassis I have the wheels, Suspension and ancillaries but I am still looking for an engine and an 8 stone nutter to ride it. Any ideas?

mgtkr1 Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 club racing needs more people like your goodself david, we have the formula 250/500 class that has very cavalier attitude to rules but not the same as a proper open class 2 stroke to compete with the r1's ect. we have open 400 thats a field of rs250' hondas and tz's but no big capacity 2 strokes in the bigger open class races. i guess because its easier to buy and tune a gixer but personally id rather ride a fully sorted stroker like yours and certainly as a spectator would enjoy seeing a 120hp+ 500 leap the mountain/blast through hall bends. the big thou's are exciting/fast to watch but not the same as a wailing 500. havnt seen a 500 raced for many years. surely someone quick will gladly ride it. i have no doubt its power to weight will make it a force to be reckoned with a certain tracks. nice work. what pipes yer gonna use? i suggest you look up bdk if your tuning a big gamma. there specialist in that arena.
