You supposed to keep that bit quiet, whilst ya selling it (not that we haven't followed your experience with it

Rotary disc valve - carb into crankcase. Does away with transfer ports....quite efficient (for a stroker).....engine could be made to run backwards quite satisfactorily if you had the knack (which, unintentionally, I had!!).

my first road bike is my bandit, i cant really say its my worst tho.

i did have a TS80 trials bike, which my mate managed to get run over on, and a DT50 which had a set of mole grips for a gear leaver and no exhaust from the expansion tank back, so i stuck a bit of white plactic tubing there instead (it had a magnex sticker on it!!)

but am thinking of getting an SV now, a curvey one!!

I have had three,

1st bike: GPz500S which I killed

2nd (and Worst): a shead of an XJ900 pre being know as the Diversion which died thanks to the previous owners interesting modifications to the wireing.
3rd bike: My K3 SV still alive and kicking.

CB125T - bought with engine in bits, I think at the time it was one of the highest revving bikes on the road at 13k (IIRC).
Fixing the engine was a doddle...
Didn't realise what a nightmare the crappy cable operated front disc was going to be

My first and only bike so far is my Derbi Senda R 50.

It's got a brilliant high revving engine in it - and for a 50 it doesn't half shift!
My mate used to have an RS50 which had a 1mph higher top speed but i'd always get there before him!

I'll be getting a spanker of an SV at the end of this month
