i received an email today from roger as follows he has asked me to share it with you :-

"thought this may be of interest to the zxr forum. Its our latest zx4rr race bike. Its taken a while to build and has many one off items and is laiden with carbon all made and designed by ' yours truly'. It weighs in at 130kg all ready to go with 1litre of fuel,and is making 81.3 bhp with more to come i hope. ' THANKS'! Roger Middleton RMKD Racing....RMKD 177"

looks lovely

I want that.

giz ago!!

wow! Will he swap mine for that?

does nobody else think its ugly?

i'm not too sure, looks a bit too high to me.

does it matter what it looks like with specs like 130kg and 80bhp !

think i'll weigh my bike and see how heavy it is.

rear seat unit is a bit high yes, other than that i think it looks pretty good otherwise! But as zimm said, 80hp and 130kg would you really care?

Baz, do you know if he has ideas to produce the carbon bodywork and tank? Ive had ideas myself of doing it for years but not had the time and money with uni.

i'll email him when i get home mate and let you know.

Thanks for your opinions chaps! regards the seat height? the photo does make it look alot higher than it is? why? dont ask me.The seating position is just 10mm higher than a stock bike so judge for yourself. I will take a better photo of it and get Baz to put it up. Ugly? some people like really fat women? some people like sprouts and tripe? its a question of taste. Regarding producing the bodykits? i dont intend making them to sell untill our 08 bike is finished...i build a new race bike every year. We have raced zxr 400's for 8 years and this bike benefits from lots of modifications. It has rtd programable ignition and will rev to 16300rpm, has an extended swing arm to try to stop rear end chatter under hard braking, rmkd adjustable slipper clutch. close ratio gearbox,special cams,flatslides ect ect. The tank is actually a cover/ramair box lid and fuel is held in a carbon fuel cell mounted above the rear shock. Mike Saunders has raced it at two events this year...taking two wins at Cadwell park and two wins at Darley Moor.

All becomes clear! Good idea tho, i guess thats mass centralisation? Well when/if you produce the bodywork in carbon let us know, ill be very interested. Might have to make the tank for myself then

do it RobB you know you want to!!
