Proper man bikes
Seeing most on here have a rather sad and depressing obsession with Yamaha parallel twins, I decided to lift the tone and show off 2 bikes that have been recently liberated from the hands of the original owner. The 250 purchased new from Aprilia Corse in 91(92 model) and a spare bike of Alessandro Gramigni who would go on the win the 125cc title in 92. The 250 was raced by Ricky Rice for 1 season the 125 by Hugh Kerby in 92 and Glen Richards in 93. Thereafter mothballed until now,good news they will see the track again.

"whats that youve got there?... a 450? "
yeah...
"what cereal packet did that come out of? "
huh?...
"I just wanted to know, because theres nothing worse than finding a piece of shit in the bottom of your corn flakes. "

Re: Proper man bikes
you know the guys from powerflow engineering?
ask them if they remember their GPZ550 dragbike (D/comp bike) from back in the 80s.
I think it was the owners bike.
It had massive cams, ported head, massive SS valves, 630cc kit, high comp, big carbs, chromoly chassis.
It ran 10.9 1/4s
I snapped it up 10yrs ago for 1500 bucks but the engine grenaded after 1 season. And then I decided two strokes were my calling!

They are very capable enduro bikes remember my mate had one back in the day and it was great. Shane Watts won a A4DE on a 125 with 4 day old tyres one year.fred99999au wrote:So, 2T, my IT200 is a mans bike. Thats good to know, thanks.Man bikes have the chain on the right
