First 2 are ebay bike that passed in 7/10 at 18.5k
Next 2 are mine with quite Yoshi muffler before rego.
4th one rego TB??? used to be mine,belonged to a bloke called Nick years ago who passed away,it got a bit damaged with an argument with one of those old white red gum roadside marker posts and i sold the chassis to Richard Van Wyck in Adelaide who rebuilt it and got it back on the track,it now belongs to Jim and looks like this;
McIntosh Suzuki - Owned by Jim Raskatos - 1170cc Suzuki - McIntosh frame, hubs, yokes - 186kg with half tank of fuel

Don't know the all red bike but great shot of rear wheel clearly showing genuine McIntosh hub,if the owner of that bike happens to read this I have complete decal sets to give him.
Last bike is also very well known to me,belonged to a very good mate of mine and has front end off my BR2 fitted to it,the reason it has that is that my original rear McIntosh hub cracked and we found cracks in the front hub,so replaced wheels/front end with early GSXR.My mate then stuck BR2 front end onto his and never got around to replacing hub,I saw the current owner last year still riding the bike with that cracked hub and he didn't seem too fussed!!! Other McIntosh owners don't need to worry about hubs cracking,Ken McIntosh reckons mine are the only ones to ever fail,probably due to a very poor respoke by a person I won't name here but PM me if your about to get wheels built.
Cheers.

I really know nothing about these bikes but they are really sweet looking pieces of kit.

I know of around 15 in Australia (4 0f which I've owned),a mate has a 2 valve GS(1 of 4?). If your in Auckland you can probably get decal kit straight from Ken,but let me know if you want some of mine,I also have genuine head stays if you need them.I wouldn't mind a tail light lense,got a spare one??
Cheers Craig.

I like the red - the head stay I've got is origional - dont have a spare tail light. I mght ask Ken how many are left - they found the Keith Turner F1 bike, but the thief had been busy with a hack saw

Cheers Rob.
