R in the ECTA records
« on: April 04, 2007, 01:32:11 PM »
Hello All

Just wondering if anybody can confirm that the 650/R records at Maxton refer to a 'rotary' engine?

What bike was it?

S. Guthrie?

Thanks
Mark

The "R" is indeed a Rotary engine designation - not certain what machine.
Don't BS on the track - that's what the internet is for.

Mark, I asked Scott about this a few years ago. I believe it was a mid to late 70's 500cc Suzuki(I remember studying up on it a little bit after he told me about it, but that's on another computer then where I'm at right now).

Or I guess you could just read the post made by Scott while I was busy typing  :roll:
