I liked issue 10 and the 2 Cheneys of I think Andy Robinson, the 500 was alchohol fueled 3 speed grunter but more interesting from my side is the 350 built off 250 motor with big piston but keeping short stroke. There are a couple of 350 big bore B25s being run in the UK that seem to go pretty well against the 500s.

The first KDX200, the US model without Aust compliance was just fan-bloody-tastic... Heaps better than the competition.

I have thoughts in this direction for a while now.... have B25 motor in my war chest and 600 Ducati head.  ;).... the 350 also makes sense as it won't chew up the 4 speed as fast. Ducati head on to BSA engine has been done before in the UK so figure it is possible.

Marc ....... bin the four speed ! Much easier to use a new 3 speed. Bullet proof and no need to use the clutch for shifting either.
The billet clutches now available are also superb. I have been abusing one for the last couple of seasons without any wear or slip.
Thumpers Rule !
