So, what's the deal here then ? Some bloke advertised this on the RD Forum, then updated it only 2 days later to say he's scrapped it all instead. :shock: Really ? :? A one-off inline-4 500 by the genius that made those 4,5,6 and 7 cylinder triples, V-twin SS50, V8 Z1 and the V12 Z1300. I don't think so... :roll:

Needs a lot of work, and could look a shambles if not done properly, but it deserves a good home.

God knows I don't have time, money or room for another project but I've contacted him to say I'd be interested if it really is sitting on top of a skip at the moment...

I saw that on the LC forum, had exactly the same thoughts as you, could be very nice.
Can't believe you'd just bin it, don't think anyone's that daft :?

That looks interesting, but i would think the two centre pots would run a little hot, the GT380 triple used to suffer seizures on the centre pot, surely four would be worse. Anyone remember the ram air system :lol: :lol: :lol: , it rammed the fins full of flies and that was about it. :D

not sure about that one like Cliff says it will have KH trouble one two many revs and the middle cylinder seizes only it will be 2 :shock: the ram water system might help the flies were when it was hot it if it rained it rammed water onto the plugs and it misfired or mine did :lol: come to think of it so did my KH :roll: :lol:

Just have, it seems that it's risen from the dead :lol:
Not exactly a sure fire way of creating interest, I would have thought :?
