Hello.
I have just received the current issue of Cycle Canada and right there , on
the front page is a Catheham Super 7 on the track with a Yamaha FZR1000!!!
The Super 7 is owned by Rob Cattle, a partner of Pickering Prestige Motor
Services Ltd. and has the following specs: 1322lb, 2-litre DOHC 16
valve Vauxhall/Opel with an estimated 180hp @ 6000rpm and has twin 45mm
carbs. I guess you can even get up to 250 horses out of this engine!
The bike: a straight out-of-the-crate FZR1000: 122 hp at the rear with
a top speed of 167 mph....ouch!!!
Well to make a not-so-long story even shorter...the driver and rider
being the same, it was quite a run!
BTW...the bike won!
