The title says it all. This is going to be more of a speed and performance focused build than the last. Less time and energy spent on finishes, more time spent on finessing and fettling. I am hoping to implement and share a lot of ideas that both myself and other awesome members of this forum came up with through the process of the previous build. The stock SR will get about 120kph, all Jadus bikes - both the test mules and the black standard get around 135kph. All make around 20hp at the crank. So looking to get 30hp with some trick mods to be able to get to 160kph or... the ton!
Something I noticed when I completed the black SR was that it was the nicest bike I have ever build, and I didn't/don't like it. Not because I don't love it, but because I hate having nice things. I hate the feeling of being 'precious' with something - not wanting to scratch the paint, not wanting it to get dirty etc. That is why I will never own a nice car. I want to use, thrash and trash my toys. I don't want to spend time cleaning and polishing! What a waste of time! So this bike will be more along those lines and I can't wait to get stuck in.
I thought I would be ready to move onto the next model of bike to design parts for by now, but I feel I have one more good SR250 in me before that. Who knows, maybe even more parts for the SR250 along the way!
The reason I want to document the build here is twofold. One, I can share what I am doing with a greater audience, and two, it opens things up for a great discussion for ideas and allows me to get feedback from more experienced members of the forum who have 'been around the block' a few times
