JMC GSX-R1216

Recommended Posts

A while back fellow OSS member Slabbyruss712 posted on FB he wanted to trade an EFE for his JMC framed GSX-R1216.
It would be a dream to own a bikes like this, because a while back I was forced to sell (housing for my disabled daughter) my Bakker F1 which took me ages to get.

So I took a gamble and contacted Russel. We got talking on the phone and managed to make a deal both of us were happy with.

I traded 2 EFE's and a Kat for it and offered to bring them to the UK.
So export-papers were sorted and ready for a road trip with one of my best mates "Anton Heyboer".
Down to Calais to catch the Eurotunnel and after 4 (!) checks by military twice, borderpetrol and Police we finally set foot on UK soil.
Bit of a search to find Russel and his mate, but at last I could check out the JMC!

Last week I finally had the change to drive the first miles.
Damn, it's quick!
According to Russel it's a 1052 lump, with 1127 crank, Carrillo rods, 1127 cilinder bored out to 1216 with Cosworth pistons and reworked head by Roger Upperton.

Have some small plans for it in the future.
We'll see.

Again a big thanks to Russel! (y)

It's growing on me. ;)

No, no big alterations.
Perhaps changing some parts and adjusting the stands.

For now just enjoying the bike and put some miles on it.
We'll see what winter brings.

I was raised by the mindset: if you want something, you'll have to work for it!
Was willing to do it and already forgotten when looking at the bike. :tu

Still looking for extra info on the bike.
Found some pictures on the web prior.
It shows there was some kind of fairing on it.
Wondering what it looked like.
According to Leblowski there should be a picture of it here on OSS.
But I can't find it.
Anybody any idea?
