Nice vid 👍
I would rather have the TZR 250 3XV out of the two 😎🙂

I like everything about it apart from the price.
I can see where the £35,000 comes from. At work we are just starting to make 13 air conditioning unit's that will eventually go on top of cranes.Those units are about 1650 x 900 x 900mm and all the parts are specially made for them but nothing CNC machined from solid and we sell them for about £34,000 each.
The 3XV came out well considering it was a 45 hp JDM restricted bike. They make 65 plus once unrestricted.
I'd like to see it do a side by side with an unrestricted TZR/RGV/NSR 250.
He's right about the YZ125, fantastic engine. My lad had one and more than once I thought it would be good to put two of those cylinders on a crankcase.
My lad has a YZ250. What if we put two of those cylinders on an engine? Or four YZ125's??? I bet that Italian guys already on it.

I differ. I think it's as fugly as a pit bull chewing a wasp. And what's with the scoop things? £35K is insane. Who the hell can afford one and if you want a bonkers 2 stroke you could build/buy a better, older one for less. RWU forks, twin shocks, an awful headlight and a trellis frame that looks like it's not quite finished. Don't get me wrong I applaud them for doing this but the design and price... it just isn't enough. It's a bloody 250 too. Now if that was say, a 500 wrapped in some sleek bodywork and modern bouncy stuff, £35k might...might...make sense.

ps I'd like to see some top speed figures and maybe a race between that and maybe the TZR on a track.

The work college of my Dad who I brought my F1 off had a RG500 in the shead aswell it had been their for 30 years but he said it was not the nicest bike to ride as it used to over heat a lot and the rear cylinders would get hotter then the front ones and you have to wait for then to cooldown. |

When something looks right it usually is.....
The TZR is a good example of this.
The other is lost in a flat white and beard oil haze....

I think the look on the tuners face said it all. He was being nice with his comments.
