Can you....yes....Permission granted.

Yes, of course you can 

But you have to use LC heads of course, cos your FZ6 is liquid cooled too - no air cooled RD stuff. Can you weld?

Errr yeah...you will need to take two of the pistons out as the FZ6 is a four stroke.

I have a mate from the gym who did his but he's an engineer on the railway

Back in the early 80's Performance bikes ran an X7 and i think they put a Nitrous kit on it. Boosting the power from 26BHP to 72BHP. 2 minutes later it blew up.

Hey Paul, can I borrow your X7 for 2 minutes? 

[red98]

a whole 2 minutes.......you lost your touch 

[FazerMikai]

I had an X7 which was faster than any Yamaha LC, I had 128mph out of it on the Abergavenny bypass

[Hedgetrimmer]

Was that with or without diesel 

Foc me, I've been to Wales a few times this year, and there was a lot of sheep shit around, just don't remember seeing this much bullshit

Hey Christo, you don't need nitrous to make me laugh...

To be fair while the x7 was quicker the air cooled RD was a better handling bike which always felt more solid. The LC felt like a thoroughbred at the time when my KH250 felt as though its frame was made of cheese strings

Got to agree had an X7 at one time, lighter and a teeny bit faster but flighty as hell and it felt less substanial than the RDs.
 
will run my Aircooled 250/350 on pre-mix, going to have fun getting the jetting right with a Y-boot and big can microns

borrowed a G5 to take my test

examiner had to jump out of the way on the E stop as in the wet honda disc brakes didn't work
had an X7 x2 (you needed another for spares) the old suzuki was a bit quicker than an LC until a corner appeared.
had an NS400R in rothmans that i bought from stan stephens (thankfully he hadn't touched it)
it got cbr600 wheels and lightly breathed upon by my loving hands and would embarass fireblades in the twisties (first bike i ever got my knee down on).

" Do you remember that young lad Christo, back in the day he made me laugh with his antics and ideas. Whatever happened to him. Well I heard he invented that spaceship that is taking space tourist to Mars and now is getting his kicks flying at 100 times the speed of sound. So a bit like an X7 on Nitrous then"

You`re only envious of our rose tinted two stroke fogged up glasses

Apparently the 250cc law was only introduced on July 1st 1961.Before that you could rip about on 1000 Vincents with L plates attached to your hearts content! .

[YamFazFan]

...& no Christo,we don't remember that! .

[red98]

How about the sidecar law, does that still stand ?

Good question..i don't think it does.I had a quick look at the rules on it,but it's so complicated & confusing it made me dizzy reading it! .

[BBROWN1664]

Nope. Not unless you are disabled and only what a three wheeler licence.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Honda 250 Super dream on here, ok not the fastest or best but a bloody good bike IMHO

A few mates had them and 1 had a GSX250 and another had a GS250 custom. All those bikes did it but they never did it like an X7 or LC.
