Just a historic question
Someone must have been in the 180SS tuning business?

Vader pointed this out to me today. Replica though and I don't know any history.

Funny that, they used to live with 70mph GT200s quite easily, run away from 75mph TV175s and leave 80mph Pacemakers for dead!

Didn't have a chance against my 90mph Horners Hornet SX200 dealer special though.

If a SS180 owner wanted to get crazy on their cylinder, Scooter Mercato has a 10th over and can get a 14th over. The 10th would make it 193cc and the 14th would make it 202cc. It still won't be a GH because some serious tuning would have to be done as well but the extra displacement would be nice.

Wow so beautiful!

Is it a tunning? I never saw it before. Can you tell me the history of this model?
