    looks cool, great work, but I bet it makes a horrible road race bike, especially anywhere with a decent straight.

    RZ Racer It passed tech LAST time!

    70hp and 200 lbs on a clubman bike would own ANY straight...

    That is a very, very cool project.

    I have imagined a 500 twin based on joining two 250s. Maybe a counter-rotating twin crank "square" layout.

    I should have skipped the organic chemistry classes and taken welding :-(

    reminds me of that cover story on cycle world a few years back where the guy fabbed a bike frame from carbon fiber with an oil cooled gsxr1100?? Think the designer got hired by Suzuki??

    "70HP" from a 250cc single?? :Poke:

    Somehow I think not.... Cool bike anyway.

    For a guy designing his first bike frame, erring on the side of stability seems smary

    GP 250's run a hair shy of 100hp. 70 hp from a well tuned 250 is a piece of cake.

    KrooklynSV Usual Suspect

    70hp from a KTM enduro is hardly like. I'd be surprised if it put out 55hp at the wheel. This isn't a twin proper GP (or even replica - NSR, TZR, etc.) engine.
