Good pic Honk - Looks like an SDR200 - I raced one in the Scottish/Irish 200cc class in 1991 until its crankcases cracked :?

Image

Wasn't a patch on my previous Spondon RD200 though..................... :D

Whoo, that was back in the days the world was still in black/white! You must be really old then? :wink:
Didn't know the SDR. It looks very tiny, in a good way though. Must be very flickable!

Was your helmet on the first pic a Mamola replica? Looks a bit like mine (see previous page in this topic)! :D

You're lucky the pics aren't in sepia!

The SDR was a neat handling little bike but it wasn't a patch on the well tuned screaming RD200 motor - it would happily sit at 13,000 rpm for a kilometer at Dundrod in N. Ireland..............(clutch finger delicately poised ready for grabbing 8) )

By the way - I am Randy Mamola :lol:

Season's last trackday :( Bloody IL4s to be in the way in the curves, and pinning it down the straights. :) (OK, have to admit, this guy was pretty fast in the curves also...)

Interesting to compare lean angle/body positioning though, we're going the same speed in the curve.
