Works KSI at Farleigh Castle Sunday

[ksiderek]

I was only joking about the Enfield. Mind you, I see they do have a new unit construction 350 on the go  . I think it's a great idea to offer a kit. Do you have a 250 four stroke class over there ? A small four stroke would make a great entry level bike. You always hear of kids interested in taking up the sport but quickly giving up because their 2 sroke scares the crap out of them.

I mean even if you ran with all the rest of the 250s you would probably have more fun not wrestling the RM500D.

This is a Long shot,but in about 1981/82 my cousin imported a KSI frame into Australia,it was built up and I raced it in Victoria at I believe to be one of the first 4 stroke races ever held at an Open meeting that was at Longworry? and I also raced it at Wonthaggi,there was a test on it in Trail & Track at the time,My Cousin ended up trading it in to the Honda shop in Ringwood a few years later apart from being a KSI another distinctive thing about this bike was we had Ohlins on the rear,

What has amazed me has this bike has never been sighted again in the VMX era,I am sure if some body knew what they had they would be showing it off for sure,

Has anybody ever seen or know of this bike?

That IS interesting - a KSI bike in Australia! I never knew that, nor have I ever heard even a whisper of it since I got into vintage. I wonder where it's hiding these days?

[number8]

Yes Graeme,

Thats why it amazes me it has not surfaced,if anybody knew what they had they would/should be proud to show it off it is a work of art,

Just posted a few up, will do some more over the weekend. Got someone coming to show me how to get better quality but I'll use the ones I have done so far on here, they are good enough to see.
