Um... every track day...

--------------------------------------------------------------------------


must inquire within:

The best deal of all is that this project paves the way for anyone who is interested to get into their own RS500. We can supply complete RS500 bikes; everything from chassis, engines, etc - or we can adapt your existing RS250 with a custom engine mounting cradle to accept the potent TSS500GP engine.

Whether you fancy the ultimate two-stroke track-day tool or indeed the last word in a canyon-blaster, look no further, because the RS500 is here to satisfy your every two-stroke desire.

This is not just a Performance-Enhanced Blast Down Memory Lane - these engines usher in a whole new era of two-stroke technology and performance - the long-awaited age of the Two-Stroke Superbike! Suspension and tyres and brakes have evolved - now let's bring on the power!

In our zeal to complete the RS500 magic, we haven't forgotten RD-LCs, Yamaha RD/RZs, Yamagammas and others, so just drop us a line and we will be happy to help you realise your engine dreams!

All enquiries about RS500s/Kits/Parts, including TSS500 engines; building of custom expansion chamber exhausts; RS500 engine mounting cradles; offset sprockets; Ignitech ignition systems etc. to Steve at offbeat@iinet.net.au please. Tel. 0427 774 285 or from outside Australia: +61 427 774 285.

That looks so sick. I would rock it so much.

When I go back to Brazil, since newer Racing Replicas cost so much, I was thinking about picking an older RD350 for cheap, fully build the engine to use ethanol (I've seen some getting 80HP with a properly built and tuned engine), swap the forks, brakes and similar stuff for some more modern and sportier parts, and have a fun track bike. 2T sport bikes are growing on me.

Indeed... don't get caught up to much with total output... while it is important, the 2t's make there power so vastly differently they can be an awesome ride with much less HP

They claim it is more cost effective than a 600.

This is what they said

They didn't say more cost effective then a 600. Their keyword is middleweight Supersport which I intend to interpret to be a good i4 600cc Supersport Race Bike. Not your off the showroom floor bike. But that's just me

That could be, but the statement is so vague its hard to say either way.

Let's just all agree; riding performance motorcycles is in no, shape, or form inexpensive
