The BSA-Regal has been produced for years. See http://sr400cafe.blogspot.com/2010/04/bsa-regal-sr500.html. RR

Mind. Expanding  ;)

Thanks for that!

I got a thing for an evil looking streetfighter.  It's how I justify the Speed Triple.  Does anyone know what this thing is?  It appears to be a boxer of some sort - I think I see a fighter project in my future once the K5 is done!

Its been in all teh UK mags. GSXR400 frame and a 750 kawasaki triple said to be putting out 140+bhp.

Kwikasfaki stickers are comonly available, not an origional idea.

I love this bike though!

Har har har. Yeah, I bought it off the showroom floor back in August of 2001. I have put 25K on it so far and still love it. I told my 6 year old daughter that some day it might be hers. It is the ONLY new thing I have ever owned and dont plan on giving it up.

Ahhh, the ZRX.  Was that the first killer "naked" bike?  It is to me anyway.

We've got a heavily modded ZRX at the shop, nicknamed Brutus.  Full stage 3 Muzzy bike that the PO let go for less than the cost of the Ti exhaust because he couldn't dial in the CV's after getting all of the engine work done.

Once we got the carbs right, it put down 128hp at the rear wheel.  Despite att the go-fast goodies, it's still pretty tractable around town. My only complaints are the soft suspension, slow turn-in, and high hand-position - all of which can be rectified.
Take care,
David

Me and some friends made gravity bikes out of old BMX bikes back in the late 80's. We could get up to 50 mph on some of the hills in my home town. Some great times were had building those and coasting them.

I took all these at Miller Motosports park the day of trials. I unfortunately couldn't be there for the races that followed for the next two days.

Some cool bikes and it was fun to watch the test laps though
