I like that. Has it got a supercharger (and a kick starter!)? It looks cool in the way most modern sports bike can't even get close to. Queer rear suspension too.

I don't think it's supercharged, it might be a belt driven alternator to power the extra endurance lights?

Looking at the pictures I think you're 100% correct. Those carbs are not forced induction in any way. Kind of a shame but probably for the best in many ways. I still like it.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Fri Aug 20, 2021 8:54 pm I don't think it's supercharged, it might be a belt driven alternator to power the extra endurance lights?

It looks okay, I suspect the Yoshimura link is total fiction, as is it being an endurance racer.

Interesting. That seat and 24 hours? Probably not. Some of the anodised bits look far too new to be original. But there is a patina on some of the bolts that looks as if they could be original.

From hazy memories that's pretty much period correct in loads of details.
From the air assistance in the forks to the 'fournales(?)' air shocks.
Like in a retro old school way.
