Information: When i moved to NZ, one of the first things in did was to try and find one of these. They stopped making them in ´03, and there were no new ones left in the UK and probably Europe so was well chuffed to find 1 of 2 Brand new ones left in NZ.Bought it there and then!! The 4 Stroke 4 Valve leader engine is a good powerful lump (20hp) with lots of low-end torque but not as powerful as its 2 stroke 180 counterparts.
Had a scorpion zaust (looks and sounds the bollocks) shipped in from the UK and a K&N open air filter shipped in from the US, the setup works well so keeping it like that for a while, in ´06 gonna start with the tuning, All Malossi tranmission and CDI Unit to start with, then disks, bitubo shocks, then maybe onto a 210 cylinder, cam, valve springs etc...
She runs OK at the moment though, topped out at 130kph (81mph) which aint bad considering its a 4 stroke. Finished all the styling work as you can see, its now a race replica version.
