The KR-1R never had a programmable ignition. I asked Kork Ballington about that bike he just said 'If only.........."
Pat you can easy put 35mm carbs a closer top gear , an igition and some pipes and you would have as good if not better bike than the R.

If you had a genuine R you will hit the 'Manx' ceiling/phenomenon/syndrome. That is , a Manx is the best bike for it's class, but not the fastest. The fastest are the copies, about twice as fast, not just because of today's technology packed into it, but more if you crash a real Manx your crying for days, crash a copy and you just buy replacement bits.

Trumped ! I'd say blown away . Looks like a factory race bike , supplied to the lucky few . Pipes are interesting shape , looks like they were trying to preserve some mid range with the fat section.
