Odd Partnership
« on: September 14, 2016, 10:34:26 PM »
A Velocette engine in RGV running gear, a weird mix, spotted on IOM. Got to speak to owner/builder about the construction. and all the problems he had to overcome. Love the name. there cant be too many Suzuki/Velocette combos.

Now that looks FUN!  ;D  ;D

But the thought of doing the routine maintanence would drive me crackers!  :'( :( :'(

Not sure if Suzette would be more than a one nights stand!  :-\

My regards, Bill

Odd and yet it looks so right somehow. I think I'd be worried though about the VOC taking out a contract on me.

Odd yes, but strangely pleasing... (bit like SWMBO  :) ) I think the 42mm? usd forks and twin twin pot 320mm discs are a bit over the top for a 25 - 35 bhp motor though.

Yes, I saw that.  Supercool isn't it??  Bet it sounds good too!

Frame etc may be overkill, but perhaps easier to ride quick than the original chassis.

I love it,

Aye Andy,

Sit back and enjoy this, they are a quick motor in the 'right' hands.  ;)

Velocette_Thruxton_Smokes_Suzuki_DRZ400_Supermotos

This could be the motor that should have been fitted in the RGV250 frame, nicely run-in by the looks of the reek!  ::)

I also have another link that might make your right hand twitchy, involving a friend and a 250 Ducati.  ;D

My regards, Bill
