The motor was a sleeved down Honda S600 engine with the block modified to have 4 smaller sleeves air cooled instead of the water jacket. George matched a pair of 250 twin race kit 4 vave double OHC heads to hold down the sleeves.The bike was an absolute jet but the 16″ front and rear wheels created bad handling problems which were never really sorted.
