RE: 155" RK Build
Was talking to Reg Ronzello at R&R yesterday,he says some of you wonder if I do own a 155" RK.It has been on the road for couple of weeks now,and it is just a couple of small things to iron out.But for the non believer's,Give me a call 207-892-5210 would be glad to answer any questions you might have about this incredible lump of billett perfection.Trust me, you have never experienced accelleration like this motor cranks out.Already a new seat is in the works simply because it's a real chore to stay on it.Maybe you can talk me through the picture posting thing.Dog155

RE: 155" RK Build
Most all the bugs are workedout,and it is next to impossible to describe the accelleration rate.Intense! Savage,are a couple words that come to mind.Another good choice of words is, the bike is aimed then you pull the trigger and just hang on!.The throttle response is incredible!Will say though I finally found the bike I have always been searching for.To you boys considering stepping it up a notch,go as big as the wallet will allow.

RE: 155" RK Build
I spent the day on it yesterday,and hada first timeexperience on a very familiar stretch of road.Anytime I want to raise a little caine,I always head out toward the farm land,the roads are open both sides (fields) 1mile straight aways and smooth roads.Actually have talked to the farm owner he loves it when he hears me coming.Anyway, there is a long left sweeping turn before the straights,this new bike with the wick upgood, was not going around the turn.Panicking a little rolled back the wick,the front end set back on the road a little more and the turn was fine.All my toys before this,could maketurnfull throttle.Passing cars with this thing is one adreniline rush.In the lower gears to burn rubber,just hit the wick and up in smoke you go.Once this Dunlop is toast,will have to look for something with a lot more grip.

This one excellerates quick, smooth, starts right now, I've had one in my Bourget test bike and it will put your eye ***** in the back of your scull. It will fit a stock Evo frame.[/align]
