Hey Dave, Ive got a mate back in Tassie who built a 3 engined CR 480 dragbike back in the mid 80s. He built it, i was to ride it. Fisrt attempt was machining off the gearboxes on the front 2 motors, joining the motors by drive chains and use the standard 3rd gearbox, knowing that it would proberly shit its self. Which it did in the driveway at about 1/4 throttle. He thought that the direct drive shock from the chain drives may have caused it as well as trying to use a stock gearbox, so he used glimer style drive belts and a beefed up 3 speed gearbox made from a triumph box. Tried another test run in the street after passing the driveway test, blew the box again. Next attempt was to use a GSX1100 box but he had a few heart problems so the bike was put in the back of the shed, its still there. This thing was 1440cc of pure evil, hand made expansion chambers, about 2 meters long and a turning circle of a Bdouble. The sound it made is nothing like ive ever heard before or since. Tony reckons it sounded like the devil getting a powersaw shoved up his arse. Ill try and get some pics.
My dad bought a mach 4 new in 1972, the good one with CDI and better port timing. The later ones were shit in comparison, detuned, points ect. He kept it 30 years and sold it to buy a 1200 bandit.
Nothing sounds like a mach 4.
I had one of these in blue as my first road bike (talk about smoke)
This waterbottle was next (in my touring days)
..ahh good old suicidal suzukis ..istill cant get over the sticker they used to put on the fork legs proclaiming how naff the disc brakes were
aahh the smell of two stroke.stop torturing me ozkat that sounds absolutly mental..
That would be something worth tracking down. I love the 70's idea of whacking the biggest nastiest motor into the most flexible under-braked chasis you could find and then just holding on for dear life. I wish I was around back then to experience it. Sounds like my kinda fun!quote:Originally posted by ozkat

Lots of work ahead of me, but this is my ride to AFR '09
^^^Lets just say i rode the Waterbottle to Bathurst races when the riots and flamming toilet rolls were in the news. [:0]
whos running the recovery service for all the 2 stroke riders?
(Says a H2 owner)
Anyone remember KR1's?
I loved mine
KR1 or KR1s? the 1s used to last twice as long as the KR1 (about 300 miles in total, if memory serves me right)[quote:Originally posted by Weaselman

Love the old waterbottles, bent one rather badly on the Yarra bend Park in Kew
First Suz was a T250 , first roady was a X7 .
Here's a 500 tripple at a mates place
Going to be mounted up on the shed wall as decoration
Here's my second RD350 [1977] Bullshit bikini fairing, expansion chambers, Koni rear shocks, and big dent in the tank, from where it spat me off after owning it for about five minutes!! Went like crazy to about $1.40, then boredom set in
Just behind it,my house
