Thanks mate are you sure it was stella?
I've owned it from new, and done 99 % of the work myself for the last 28 years

That is gorgeous! Ok when is the next classic auctions? I need me a racing Cucciolo!

[Mr.R]

Thanks Jason,
I used to build race motors, worked for a couple of years as a Ducati mechanic back in the bevel days but it spoiled my hobby.
A mate of mine runs a tuning business, KTM'S. He's now found this out...
The moneys good but he's got no time for his own projects.
What's the point? he asked me the other day.
Then he took the afternoon off to help me make a holding tool for the lathe, so i can modify my 4 valve Desmo shim kit, for another little tuning mod for my 851/916sp hobby.
What a star man!

I tried to crop the picture of the near side to show the carb but had no luck, but if you can zoom in you'll see the carb quite clearly.

Mr. R - Mr. R - Mr. R,

They might be :wink:

When i said to you i had a nice bevel at Bristol, i bet you didn't expect this, did you?
I dont bullsiht!
It has been a labour of love....28 years and counting!!!
Every bolt,nut spoke and spindle is stainless steel, except for the brake bolts which are Titanium. The mudgards are carbon fibre, the tank is a 1 off alloy item and the motor is to full race spec, although softened a bit due to old age!!
She pulls nearly 80mph in 1st gear and will crack off around 140+ in her detuned state.
