Dave,

Any idea what frame that RG motor is wrapped in? The front beams look like a TZ but the swingarm area looks more like Spondon. It's a very neat bike and that dry clutch is rather tasty.

What HP did the 500 square 4 Kawasaki make in comparison to this 500 4?

I haven't seen any dyno figures for the Kawi 500 fours.

The last of the 500 GP bikes were rumored to put out around 220 at the rear wheel.

And it looks like I can get 145 out of a 500 triple at 12,500rpm and 9.25 compression ratio, with a bmp of 165......LOLOLOL
