The WR426 had a knackered kit start. somehow they had sheered the stop off as you can see in the picture, i had to make one as you can see in the second picture. They had also cracked the  casing as you can see in the top left hand corner of the first picture, Tried getting it welded but ended up buying a second hand one. This is what happens when someone tries to start a bike that they have no idea how to start.

The two beta`s the 250 and the 270, complete rebuild from the frame up, as these were for me and my youngest lad, One thing i will say you pay good money for these bikes but the build quality is shocking, Swinging arm bearings have no dust covers on, Mikuni carbs that piss petrol out due to vacuum issues. Hell they wont even start if the bike is facing uphill.

The Beta Techno that is a copy of Dougie Lampkin`s winning bike, came in box`s with quite a few bits missing.

Better pictures of the SRAD and Thundercat

Had a run on a gsxr 600 it was nice and smooth, but not my thing, the R1 made 600s seem too slow, more so the lack of torque from the 600 4, now a thumper was nicer
