Wood Rotax
« on: November 04, 2009, 08:56:38 am »
John and Andy Bondio have built a very tasty Wood Rotax for John Kocinski (so naturally, it's very CLEAN !), the colour scheme is a bit dodgy but it's a very nice build. Pics are on the superbike planet.com website.
Nostalgia's not what it used to be....

I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

Neat bike, they are an interesting engine, very distintive sound,I think it has something to do with intake roar, the ones I seen were running 44mm carb. Apparently exspensive to repair and run, meet a bloke over there and helped him change sump gasket (cover under engine 2' X4'), shame we found part of a gear with a third of the selector groove attached, he elected to run it as it was shifting OK but the engine let go towards the end of the day. They are fast though.

Jonesy will be running one once he comes back from his severed Achilles tendon Pete. He bought a cherry ATK DTwith all the good bits (600 Rotax, Axtell head, 860 cam, 44 Mikuni carb and much more) in the motor from a guy in Georgia. I agree about the engine note, they sound horn to me.
Below...Alan's new ATK tracker.
