Silk 700S - The Ultimate English Two-Stroke,  1975-1979.

656cc parallel twin leaning forward about 40 degrees, with liquid cooling and no fins on the alloy cylinder barrels, in a steel tubular frame made by Spondon Engineering of Derbyshire 

Photographed this one in 1985 at the Santa Pod Raceway, England. Probably less than half a dozen ever made it to the United States

Man kann den Briten gar nicht genug für ihre Verschrobenheit danken. Wer käme sonst auf die Idee 2011 noch zwei solch geile Teile auf Basis der alten Suzuki RG500 Gamma auf die Räder zu stellen. Genial! Hier geht es zum Bike: http://www.2strokeworld.com/forum/index.php?topic=10856.0 Morgen gibt es noch mehr Bilder. Here's the spec: Spondon frame and swingarm Spondon hand made aluminium tank Suzuki RG500 engine built and tuned by Darren Ohlins front suspension White Power custom rear suspension Brembo brakes BST carbon wheels Nova gearbox Nova dry clutch Swarbrick pipes (fabricated by Darren) Koso clocks RGV VJ22 bodywork with mods to lower front fairing sides VJ22 M spec based one piece single seat unit Billet yokes (as used on new Norton Café Racer) Graphics supplied by James (Snittle on the rgv250 forum) Paint by Steve (friend of Darren's - SchwantzC on the rgv250 forum) loads of hand made components by Darren and also some very hard to find items sourced by Darren. Thanks also due to Stuart at Spondon Engineering for supplying the frames and other components.
