I dont think theres anything special in it, probably just a race spare id imagine, might have some light tuning done, wont know till i get it apart. But not expecting anything special, just a bog standard motor as far as im concerned.

Not sure weather to take it to mums in Kent or bring it back to suffolk, ive not really got anywhere here in Suffolk to keep it so Kent it is i guess. Got carbs from Baz at AMS on thier way too!

thought about buying that one for spares the last time it was listed. Not worth the effort to pick it up from up here though

Defo too far for you.
