as far as i know both are still for sale. im thinking of going another route now though. gsxr7/11. idea is something along the lines of the f1 bikes with lightweight wheels, yoshi bodywork and flatslides/tuned motor. went to see my mate yesterday who is running a couple in bhrc and got me thinking. time to do my homework on oil burners i think. i have a while to mull it over while my house is sold so anything i say isn set in stone.

Update so far I managed to do quite well for the 2019 season of formula Prostocks fp2 and won the championship including being presented with my trophy by Mr J Reynolds and all round nice chap
following on from my successful season and the fp1 and fp2 class rules changing I decided to sell the gsxr 750 and use the the big engined gsxr 1216 in the fo1 class for 2020
which also
meant I freed up s bit of space in the garage which does make like a bit easier I have been meaning to get around to finish off the spare gs1000 Yoshi after I had accumulated enough spares
i coped the Harris frame bracing and have most of the engine ready including straight cut primary gear
a friend copied and machined some Vance & Hines exhaust D stubs that ray Debben had lent me after he met Byron Hines and he gavel him the set
so after modifying and welding the exhaust headers I have now made the viper exhaust system fit the Billet D headers
I also have a rickman frame being repaired after a previous monkey had attacked it and badly brazed modification this is at Wasp near Stonehenge so looking forward to getting it back soon
I will post more pictures when I get it back
the an fittings in the swing arm bracing, are they part of an integral breather/catch tank? some top notch work on these bikes

Since I'm spending YOUR dosh
I'll have the XR69 please. The Wes Cooley has been done to death. What's it called.... ah.. a clitorus. 
trouble is there not easy to find
. theres another wildcard into the fray. ill probably get my first minor bollocking for this as im in the aircooled section and the topics drifted somewhat, an xr11 replica ive seen. grabted its ben up for sale a good few months assuming they havent updated there inventery but thats with lusso veloce. i might start a seperate thread in the geberal chit chat. heres a question thats not exclusive to the aircooled stuff i dont think but ive seen it on many a tuned/race intended gs motor. whats that support called that appears to go over the front sprocket. it looks like some sort of outrigger/support

For the money I’d go for the other xr69 on the ‘bay.
Alternatively, you could build a helluva gs1000 track special for £20k
i do like the xr69 type builds. this ones running an oil burner in fairly decent spec aswell. im not to familiar with snt, the company who is behind that iteration of an xr. im well familiar with harris, trident ect. anyone on here familiar with snt engineering up in the north east?

plan would be to get some period looking dymag ch3a's in satin black with the difference if i ended up with the gs

hello there, ive come across a few intresting bikes on Eblag im intrested in. and thought id try get some background on it. its been for sale for ages granted not a lot of people have 13 grand laying around to spunk on a 45 year old toy. ive always wanted an old suzuki particularly a gs1000 as my dad has them but i dont think id be too excited about a standard bike. basicly its a toss up between two bikes im intrested in, one is the gs thou and the other is an xr69 rep with a gixxer11 based motor. is anyone familiar with either of them, id imagine the gs is a fairly well documented bike. thanks
gs1000 cooley/yoshi tribute

another nice xr69 harris bike has come up on Eblag tuned. gsx1100 motor, dymags and the usual high end bits. hoping the sale of my house is completed soon
