JPR DKW 750 sidecar racer

The very special JPR Roland DKW 750 two stroke triple sidecar as raced by Jon Perkins and Ian Nickels in the Camathias cup. This is one of the very few two strokes that races in the Camathias cup as two strokes after 1967 are not allowed. It is one of the fastest sidecars of the field. The engine is a heavily modified Roland DKW Junior 750 triple, it uses reedvalve inlets, Mikuni carbs, Yamaha YZ250 pistons and a Hemmings racing transmission.

CNC Suzuki RGB500 alloy crankcase

Here we have a piece of art made by Ton Spek, a CNC Suzuki RGB500 crankcase! First he made a 3D plastic model and after that a CNC alloy one. The original RGB500 crankcases are made of magnesium and are known for leaking and oxidation, so this is a perfect solution.
