How'd he get 750cc from a Silverwing?

673CC, to big for the 650 class.

With all that went against him, I'm glad to see he shattered that record. That's quit a bit faster than the record. Can you imagine what he would have done with the 2 motor setup he had going!

Congrats Jim. Nice to see these old motors can still get it done.

Congrats Jim.

 

[Silent-Knight]

[Blindstitch]

[Stubby]

Way to Git R Done Jim!!!

Jim clearly reminds me of "The worlds fastest Silverwing" I just hope he doesn't eat crushed dog balls for prostrate problems. If you do Jim drink lots of water. Taste bad real bad.

lol



Congrats Jim. Would like to see pics of the bike again.

So I'm not finding it - is there a build thread relating what's been done to the engine to push that kind of speed?

here's the thread from the old forum of his dual 650 engine, and subsequent catastophic failure. Seems he took what was left, and ran it as a single engine in the same frame.

Maybe I don't understand that rules, but it seems to me a GSXR750 would absolutely rape in the 750cc category....
