 David.  With the 350cc Suzuki (most likely it will be 305cc   ;)) top end yes for a bit of fun. Most appropriately a flat/flattish race area like The Classic Scramble Clubs Lismore (Vic) one would be the bee's knees. Dirt/Flat track speedway be the go too ,really getting the little twin up there in the revs. Inclines (AKA hills..) may prove diabolic and bring strong feelings of unwanted agitation to the anal regions..... cheers Tim754

Tim will the 250 twin be strong enough to used, power wise.
yep your wheel Tim ;)
Its actually the 315cc ;) at std they put out 40 bhp at 7500 rpm, tried to tune pipes for more mid range it also has the first 6 speed gear box (X6 super 6 ) so hope we can try to have the right ratio when we need it  ??? yep will probably vibrate like a D$%#do the fact that suzuki put rubber mounted handle bars on back then is a good indication :)
At the moment SA is looking good for sidecars even MSA are trying to revive as well as people all over saying Im building one of this and that, looking for and saying I will get mine out.  8)

 :D you were right they did do a 305cc  ;) 1st 250 1964, 1st 305 1968, 1st 315 1969, here is the best bit most parts interchangable and flow on to around 1976 :o didn't know shit this time last year its amazing how they have come on line just lately, the irony is the old Norton slayers are mostly being revived in the UK, Browny ex Yamaha Pitmans sold 3 x engines to the poms recently and lots of parts now available in the U.S.A (bugger all 9 months ago) they just recently started supplying Wiseco pistons for the 62mm, 62.5mm and 63mm bores so the old 350 barrels can live again and of course they just go straight on to the 250 ;)
