Hi AllMy Blue F1 sport which was located in holland was also on one of these sites, they were selling it on be half of the vendor at a massive markup, when it did not sell the vendor sold it via this site at a very resnoble price. Not every thing is a scam. It could be interesting on the desmo thoug...

Hi MacIt may be worth advertising in the club mags as not every one goes on the forum, i got my black F1 sport through Roadholder ,the Noc magazine. Also I am surprised that sometimes people don’t read the wanted ads and have a bike for sale.Also there was a time when people bought F1’s and did not ...

Hi allF1 and F1sport on the road I hope to get the second F1 sport on the road this year. In reality the first race bike will be next year? if i can get hold of the body workRegards Wayne

Are you aware Silcoline only recomend Classic comp 2 for the rotarys, I had some one at staford try to sell me some comp 2 he did not belive me untill he saw for rotarys on the can in his brosure. I use Rotella in the road bikes but will use classic comp 2 in the race bikesRegards Wayne

Hi MickI would have thought 5-6k the trouble is people see stuff on ebay and think thats the current price. there was a classic in irland for £6500. I bought my F1 Sport for £7500 less than it was origonaly advertised and its absolutly mint, the problem for sellers are there are not a huge que of bu...

I am sure they were sold by the race team, however in 94 i could never find where they sold the merchandice. Even if you dont want to sell some could you scan t...

Hi allThe first Rc588 was at the telford show along with Bob rowley and Dave Evans, two of the three people who were involved in building it in 1987 25 years ago.

Hi alli would love to bring the rc588 and my dumy engines ect however i am due a operation in april and cannot drive for 4 weeks there after and why i have not applied, all i could sugesst is if someone drops out last minuit give me a shoutRegards Wayne

Hi MarcoThe only thing on the exhaust, I would check with Geoff if fitting his exhaust without using the extractor will give you real extra power. The F1 runs hot far hotter than a comander, you get a cooler denser mixture with the extractor freeing the f1s power. I first looked at fitting the eject...

Forgot to say you must use the corect premix in the petrol tank to lubricate the rotor tips with a ejector exhaust, you still put oil in the oiltank as well.On the noize front speek to geoff, there not road leagle in the uk

Hi F1 The battery must be moved under the seat (Mods available)and the old battery box removed. The pelenium chamber removed and replaced with a adaptor to suit the hose, this is not a std part and will need to be made. The mod would also benefit from a twin rad conversion. Air filters re fit plus 2...

If you are still stuck speak to Geoff Maddern at ASBO Exhausts, he make some special norton stuff, if nessasary i would take one of mine off as a pattern. unfotunatly i would have to charge a bit of petrol money as th...

Hi WillyPvm front wheels for the F1 are in very short supply along with the brembo disks. The pvm Rcw/Nrs front wheels are different as well, in that the disks are not interchangeable on bore and offset with the f1 wheel or vice versa. The Pvm’s on eBay so far would need special disks to be made to ...
