Then went to see a just finished rg500 special.

Has no rear subframe, full carbon body work, tzr tank.

That's Bryans LC isn't it ?

He was saying how dated the LC looked against the 90's bikes and i told him he will have to Hybrid the bike

Yes thats Bryans bike, been telling him to turn it in to a hybrid aswell

but he does want a kr1s.

It just made a change to have the sun out for a change $\:D/$

stunning bit of engineering that RG, although I can appreciate the quality of some of the workmanship (pipes are a work of art), I'm not keen on the shape of the fairing.
Is that a modified original frame and why does it have two kill switches?

is this the same bike, or just the same bodywork?

my guess would be that it has 2 seperate ignition modules for each cylindre row. but then again : it can't be that dificult to have them both cut out by one switch.

on the other hand : if you want something special and make people wonder ...

Same bodywork but it's a different bike. Fairing and self supporting seat unit are by Magical Racing in Japan. He also had to get Mark Dent at Performance Fabrications make another set of pipes to fit the seat unit as the ones that were on it when it was a DAF Sheen rep didn't fit.
this is what the bike looked like last year.

Had another frame spar fabricated to match the origonal and welded in on both sides to give the look of a thicker frame.
570cc tuned motor with Nova gearbox and dry clutch
Has Aprilia RS250 wheels and swingarm with RGV forks fitted to billet yokes and 6 pot Suzuki calipers with Brembo radial.
Race RG throttle alone was £400.
Some serious money spent on the bike.
