Nice. Diggin' the USD forks. Are they a new addition for the RS?

Does the kit include dual front brakes? With single-discs up front, will the bike pull towards one side under braking?

So what happens to your 250? Gonna run both?

This is going to be a development bike for another guy in the team, I'll see how he goes on it and maybe look at getting one if I can see it working out. I think I am far too big for a 125 and looking at the paddock if you aint got the full fit and weight <8 st then you are going to sturggle.

Its a 2000 and costing around $7K. They dont have dual disks, infact the factory kit prolly has smaller disks to help it turn. Big brakes are showboating for street bikes. You get a radial mounted monoblock and use a small disk it will stop very rapidly.

The 250 is being rebuilt at the mo with some further tuning. Going to concentrate on the N400 title next year as I have a bike that is more than capable of winning it. Just got to get new leathers, tyres, clip-ons, etc, etc.......
