P1 350 Project

Postby Bones » Sun Oct 25, 2015 7:14 am

Not sure if it will see the race track this year as I still need to make my current 250 Suzy more competitive. Bought her for $350 a 1971 T350 ( 315cc ) all I can use from her is the frame, engine, tank and hubs so if anyone has some goodies that would fit the bill please contact me or if anyone knows anything regarding tuning specs I'm all ears.

sorry to say Terry but the T350 first came out in 1970. it's not a P1 bike. :(

That's correct Allan well actually 69 but they let it slide in cos its a weak low cc cycle or so I am told. It's listed in the rule book as well, I checked that before I bought it. Hope to see you at the AGM.

even if it's 69, the P1 cutoff is 1967 . Who let it slide?
If thats the case, Yamaha also put out a weak little 2-stoke in 69….. called the R5
let the flood gates open

How's my 1965 Yamaha 305 going to compete against that? I believe that bike is also a six speed

I can race my R5 in P1??????
That will change my plans for next year!

Oh, wait, they were introduced in 1970.

Oh well.

Thanks Greg, I didn't mean to start a !!!! storm here but I thought I was doing well supporting another P1 class and trying to parade another rare old bike. I had to stick to Suzy's so it took me over six months to find one and another six months to pry it out of the guys hands, but finally I have it and have already invested over $500 of what I am guessing will be around $2500 to make her race ready.

Ken Livingstone campaigned one of these in P1-350 a few years ago, with some success I should add :D

That's why it's pointless bringing out my Aermacchi anymore.
