Wanted to post this here since its vintage only and not looking to sell - I would rather just trade it. (no small frames)

I can hold on to this and use it to hold a beer in the garage as I talk about racing - or I can hope it ends up in someone elses hands. I prefer to trade for a street scoot.

Retiring from racing!
- Cutdown small frame
- Fabbed clubman drop bars that retains left hand shifting
- Full hydraulic disc brakes with bar mount master cylinder
- shortened P series forks
- New steering bearings
- Center mount frame brace
- Custom cafe seat
- Bitubo adjustable front and rear shocks
- 135 Malossi with GS piston - midlevel porting done
- mazzy crank
- DRT clutch
- 90 Primary gearing
- Close ration DRT gear stack - short fourth
- Keihin 28mm carb (the real one not a BGM)
- YZ80 reeds with custom made reed block
- PMT racing slicks - just bad ass - these stick like glue even on the street
- 2.50 cosa rims
- Pipe designs expansion chamber - these are way better than anything out there (ok in my opinion)
- HP4 flywheel

- the 58 magnets come off - those were my RIP Simoncelli numbers for the season. Im sure he alway really wanted to race scooters instead.

This bike won many races over the last few seasons. You still gotta ride it but it moves pretty good on its own.

Hmmm... One of our departments, Bar Italia Racing, is looking for a bike for the latest racer to join our team. We have been thinking small frame...

Maybe we should talk on the phone.

Would be a great bike. Can further the build considering your resources, however speed was never really he issue here and it handles well.

PM'd you contact info

Here us a video of it winning a race. It is up against a Falc small frame and a p with 210, pipe, and HRA vortex carb (the rider shooting the vudeo). Gives idea of potential. Since this race it has the keihin carb, close ratio gearbox and pipe designs pipe. Pulls much better now.
