Nice bike.
A Fahron tuned bike is a rarity, let alone in a road legal spondon!

I had Ron do the porting, heads and later on the crank on my Aircooled RD250 racebike.

The crank job was brilliant, used RG500 big ends iirc. He overbored the barrels to take DT125R pistons too.

Ended up as a 279cc or something, just under the 250 class cap for Earlystocks.

On the Boyer ignition and with that crank it would rev past the end of the stock rev counter!

He said the heads were only a mild job and once I'd got used to them to it send them back and he'd do the proper job.

Bike was way better than I was.

That's lovely. I like it when specials like this are parked in front of a suburban garage.

ONe for Taipan:

I prefer his other stuff;

Coupla cool bikes at High Beech

Love this Guzzi

And everyone loves a Grom, right?

Interesting swingarm on the Guzzi!

It's like the BMW set up (paralever is it?), the two swingarms are like double wishbones on a car. It is intended to stop wheelbase changes under power.

Love the rather more Italian name they've given it.

That is proper saucy

A lot more various different Magnis here http://www.magni.it/owner_gallery.htm

Lottery win, its mine, all mine.

I put this in the competition thread as its being raffled, but thought it was worth sticking in here. I quite like this but i'm not too sure why! Certaibnly an interesting thing to do with a XV1000 TR1!

Arturro Magni (A Guzzi race-engineer in the 50s/60s) is the guy who invented the 'Parallelagrammo' or 'Paralever' system for shaft-driven bikes. IIRC he sold the idea to BMW (or they nicked it) but retained use for himself and has used it for ages for very-low-number production runs of his Guzzi-based bikes.

I know.

Don't think I've ever known the facts about the Paralever concept though.

I rode a friend Magni during the IOM Classic week last year . It was “interesting “

They want a few quid for this Magni!
