Guys click on www,sjbmwracing.com then on race bikes, then on race bike #3 for the latest pics of the newest R1200S Moto ST race bike.

The entire site has been updated. The unpainted strange looking lower fairing has been windtunnel designed.

If those pictures don't get your pulse racing you'd better get checked over by a Doctor. You may be dead.

Dean, do you have any idea how tall the rear end for Daytona will be?

George, if you mean the final drive ratio, then the answer is yes. Extremely confidential at this point.

See you soon.

Close enough.

What Sgt. Schultz might say in a similar situation.

Btw... will the same website as last time be available to check the race in real time again?

Does any one have that link handy?

Dean -
Yes...the fairing lower is..."very" interesting!
Tomorrow I'll post a pic of the fairing lower on Mabry's new Bonneville racer and you'll see what I mean.

Wow, the engine is encapsulated in a fairing. I can't wait to see it up close and personal. Those San Jose boys have been busy.

This is the front fairing section of Mabry's new Bonneville racer, a 750CC "old" Triumph 3-cyl Trident motor. 2-valve, pushrods, all that old dinosaur stuff!
Of course it has a turbo, burns methanol & 20% nitro and a butt-load of other tricks. Should be a 220-225 MPH bike.
Think maybe "great minds are thinking alike" on that fairing lower shape?
I'll post more on this bike when I get a chance...but not on this thread! Just wanted to show you Ed's new fairing.

Intresting Dave as the fairing is Bonneville developed. Hopefully we can run it at the Bub meet in early Sept. By that time the power plant would be very intresting.
