I did one 15 years ago into a Suzuki LT250R with a single carb and a A Graham Bell / Dennis Foran 2 into 1 pipe,
Brilliant, made the mistake of selling to a friend and it was stolen, never to be seen again,
Pretty hard to beat a powerful, multi cylinder 2 stroke on the pipe,
All Flattrack Fans will love these bikes,
I have had the pleasure of seeing them and the big brother TZ750 in action,
Unbelievable is an understatement,
PS Firko you should see the pipes of that bike you posted,
mine will be similar to the Tom Horton #55 bike

I was meaning Toms Yamaha, which is better looking than the Ex KR Snr, Askland and Brelsford bike that I have,
I also have a Star Racer to suit the T500 and all the bits to build it, just not the time,
Finishing the Flattrackers is my priority, since I believe this is their year,
I plan to use RH250 type pipes just like the Greens T500 Tracker.

Those who thought that Kenny was the only one brave silly enough to race a TZ750, here's Tom Horton's Champion framed sphincter tightener.
                                                               
                                                                    http://www.vft.org/ForSaleWanted/TZ750/TZ750.html
and Mark Seigfrieds similar bike (or possibly the same bike in an earlier guise)

How's this for a well finished little Champion RD350?

Are those tz750s modern replicas/tributes to Kenny's legendary bike that are now okay to use in vintage meets or did a few people build their own before they got banned?
Would love to see & hear 1 in action, would be worth another trip to the states just for that
