Yes its a H*****, ex race bike. Was very quick and could point the wheel skywards. Yoshi pistons and cam, big valve head, ported, cut down yoshi pipe.

I had been trying to find a Kawasaki engined one, but that came up cheap and local. I converted it to have lights, had to change the crank as the p/o had cut the end off for ground clearance.
