many people unconscious with disbelief. A Yoshimura-tuned version was clocked at 170mph at Daytona.The engine was designed by Gyoichi ‘Ben’ Inamura, and the layout is still the basis of most UJM (universal Japanese motorcyle) fours. Inamura also saw

Alex Hearn used to edit TWO magazine and also had a Porsche Boxster with the number plate AL3X HN. Bonza!
any more than a Yoshimura Tri-oval end can, small numberplate and constant stream of decent tyres at it is a waste. Maybe, I could have a sniff around the front brakes - pads and braided lines - but really, that's it. There's nowt else to do

No-one in the office remembers Ian Cobby, but he was a staffer on this magazine a long long time ago
stainless/titanium exhaust from Yoshimura waiting to be fitted and next off I'm taking it over to Raceco in Suffolk (01728) 602101 for the motor to be tuned - more poke is most certainly the order of the day. Plans include skimming and porting the cylinder
