Lovely. Put the bottom fairing back on and I'll take it just as it is. I bet that really howls when it's being given the berries.

Bloke reckons it weighs 394 lb (180kg) 'moist', so not that heavy all things considered. A 2T triple will weigh a fair bit less than a 4 pot diesel...

Give or take. Also depends on how accurate the owner's assertion of 120bhp from a 50 year old motor is. But it should be a fair bit lighter than the ZX7R lump. Those bikes were more than a bit lardy as I recall, especially compared to the GSXRs of the day.

A mate of mine back in 2010 ish, might have been 2012 ish ( can’t remember ) stuck a 10r engine in a 7r frame, made the magazines and that, was a cracking bike, he did a fantastic job and done it all in-house.

120 bhp is a piss take. About 60 standard.
