No offence taken! I always preferred the Metro 6R4 to the RS200, just for the sound.

And the gearbox.....Mark Lovell went through gearbox's like shit through a Goose. On the 1986 Circuit of Ireland he used 4 box's on 1 day!!

No that was Pat Dorans doing the live mapping on the circuit although I am pretty sure that a lot of the parts and build is by the same team.

I thought the gearbox issues where more relative to single and twin shock change over where they couldn't sus the rates which twisted the rear frame and took out the linkages ( I am probalby wrong )
