Two questions

[Sparkes]

I appreciate this site had a leaning toward things of a single cylinder four stroke persuasion but here's a question some of you may have an answer to:
Has anybody seen or heard of a Yamaha RD400 engine being fitted in an '86 vintage (Jap spec) twin shock SRX chassis?
I like the way my stock SRX handles and I just happen to have an engine and spare chassis.
I think the engine/chassis would compliment each other rather nicely with a projected 125 kilos, 45 rear wheel bhp and a trail of blue smoke.
Opinions/observations/witty mickey taking would be welcomed. (as would a 620 SRX lump for £100.00...)

Regards,

John.

Sounds like a hoot and would, of course, drive us thumper fans mad with anger

It would also be like one of those Hollywood movies when the vehicle appears on screen, but with the wrong engine noise dubbed on top (like the little 4 stroke thumper trail bike in Terminator 2, dubbed as a 2 stroke).

As an aside, wouldn't it be great if, in real life, you too could add the noise of squealing tyres every time you pulled away regardless of how slow you do it. I love that in films, almost as much as the noise of squealing tyres when the car/bike/truck comes to a stop on dirt or grass

Brilliant idea. Can't wait to see it in all its blue smoke glory!

Gents,
I have to admit I do like the humour here, somewhat obscure at times but with an entertaining bite.
It may just be worth building the thing just for the reaction here...

Regards,

 John.

It's best not to encourage them

I was, in fact for once, being quite serious. I can't imagine that it hasn't been done before somewhere - Japan or France being the usual suspects!
