Motaleria is famous
Total kit car has a brief snippet about it, and they seem to like it.

Looks fantastic doesnt it. Uses a new spec Yamaha R1 with flat plane crank?? I didnt know anyone had managed to write off such a new bike to give the
donor engine.

I believe the record for a superbike engine sold by yorkshire-engines was something like 3/4 of a mile.
Too many born again bikers get on brand new 1litre bikes after not having ridden for 20 years. Some of them don't even get home.

Thinking about it - I'm sure i heard of a busa that fell off the back of a wagon (literally) somewhere - it was being delivered to a dealer and
got dropped. Ended up for sale with zero miles

The new R1 has a cross plane crank (conventional inline 4s have a flat plane crank).

You're right of course!! That piece of journalism is looking worse by the second then - its only the 09 R1 only that has uneven firing order
isnt it???

Sure is a magnificent car. Its nice to see that whilst it has a certain look it is suitable different so as to be a bespoke design. I like it a
lot.
I didnt realise it was parked next to Cloudy's warner. Again another very good build. I particularly liked its clean uncluttered purposeful
look. Had a sleek look to it.
The tax disc holder bit made me smile - a prize from the 'totalkit car box-o-sh1te'

I don't know what they were on, but my engine is an 05 and it is clearly on the airbox!
Ian Stent wants to feature the car so I am awaiting the phone call............and the cheque!!!!
Update: Just got an email from Ian to say that they want to do a joint feature with me and Cloudy soon!
They have just removed the R1 engine spec comments..............it wasn't me who told them!

I'll expect my comission by return of post...........
Can't wait for the article, well done to both of you 
cheers
Chris
Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!
