PostPost by: DJW » Sun Jan 03, 2021 8:10 am

Acquired just before Xmas and yes it’s road legal :D . Just need weather to improve so I can take it for a spin (not literally I hope)

2003 Radical SR3 with Suzuki Hyabusa engine. I think Colin would approve of it’s lightness ;)

How many times do you reckon the police will stop you in that?

Have to catch me first ;).

Joking aside never had any problems in Atom, XBOW, 2-11 or Ultima, but yep I’m sure I’ll get tugged at some point even if just to be nosey.

Circa 250 brake, so 500 brake per ton. 3 something secs to 60, although it’s real trick thing is aero downforce. Example of what it’s capable of on road tyres here albeit newer car with flappy paddles , but similar performance.

Of course on the road you aren’t going to be able to exploit that aero , but on track it’s in its element.

Perversely I just want the fun of having something so out there, for the road ;)

Missus thinks I’ve finally lost the plot lol.
