DeBenGuzzi Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 looks like a custom of two engines mated together, this might be a a lil hard I'm sure mac's just waiting for the last few minutes before he swopes in with the answer. Link to comment

mike wilson Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 "The very successful twin cylinder 125cc led to the square four 250 Suzuki RZ 63, essentially two of the 125 engines coupled together. Known as ‘whispering death’ due to its ability to seize without warning, the 250 never finished higher than third throughout its career and the project was shelved." Hmmm? Link to comment

DeBenGuzzi Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 so did mike get another billionth quiz point for this one? looks to be correct but only one person knows for sho. Link to comment
mike wilson Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I don't think I did. The chain is on the other side, there are frame gusseting differences; but it's a racing machine, so who the Hell knows? I was just going on the "whispering death" soubriquet. If anything ever looked like it would sieze at the hint of a cloud in the sky, that machine is it. The Jawa looks more like it but was only ever watercooled from what I can find out. Time to break out the book of Russian motorcycles..... Link to comment
macguzzi Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 Looks like a stumper, although it does look Italian Link to comment
