That really is something different, great video. :thumbs:However it fills us viewers with suspense, so many questions....I wonder what it weighs?They mentioned something about it being a "stroker motor" so also wondering about its power?

Did you look into Rottweiler Performance?...those guys seem to be the go to for KTM streetbikes.
Yup. They sell the PC6 with their tune for your setup for $480
I went by my local dyno guy's shop today. He quoted me around $400 to do a custom map on his dyno. He said he does lots of "super single" roadrace 690s and 690/701 enduros.
More than I wanted to spend, but at least I know it'll be perfect.

is the 5 still available? better make sure, they discontinued it for most bikes because DJ got in trouble with the federal government. if you get a 6, prepare for some headaches. took me 4 mos to get the one for my cb1100 right.
and, fwiw, i ordered a 5 and got a 6. it was a whole fucking debacle. Good luck.
I found a PC5 for $300 shipped compared to $480 for the PC6.
As far as I can tell, the only diff 'tween the 5 and 6 is the range of adjustment. Pro Dynojet tuners can override it if needed.
I found an off the shelf tune on dynojet.com that looks like it may be close (different brand of slipon, and complete airbox delete), so I'll prob try that one to start then take it to the guy down the street to fine tune on his dyno. Or maybe he has one saved that fits my setup? Gonna check in with him later this week.

So I take it you'd rather have the Aprilia?...Maybe a wiser choice. Like many others I've been looking at the souped up RD/RZ and I think it looks awesome, I love the paint scheme, wouldn't change a thing but maybe just touch it up here and there. No kickstart on that motor though makes it challenging to ride in real world situations. Such as you stop by a buddies for more than say a half hour and the motor cools down and there's no steep downhill....or you stall her at a stoplight.
Yep, the Aprilia is what I a hoping to get at this point. It is on island, so I won't have to consider shipping costs. I am getting a little push back from my wife. I told her after this bike, I will sale a bike before getting any others.
By the way, I didn't even think of the no kick starter scenarios that could occur with the rd/tz bike. I am definitely getting to old for that.
Yeah just taking a guess having no easy way to start it maybe the rub for a lot of folks. I'm not a serious buyer, I could be if I sold a bike or two that I don't use LOL. I will say that I keep an eye out for the bikes I lust to have, don't we all?....so yeah no kickstart was my first observation and second to that was no air filters but that's no big deal but then I just wonder in what state of condition the motor is in and where to get parts as it is a race motor and kinda rare. I guess it's no different than the Aprilia?, you would just have to inquire with the right owners groups but bikes that have been sitting no matter how well kept, so they say... I think sometimes it could get more expensive on top of the 7k cost of just acquiring that particular one.

@ ryan, a blaster motor was my 1st thought for the grom swap before i put the suzuki motor in it. they are tough little motors for sure.
i think the whippets had a blaster based, but liquid cooled motor. (SDR200)

Ok just found this old ad (2021) of a 66' that sold on BAT for big money or at least the auction states at 19k...is that what they go for? well there was a video of the seller firing it up so that's cool to see and hear. I find the differences between this 1966 and the original post of the 1968 interesting, like the gas tanks for example. Not sure what's more original?

Depending on the model, engine config, and condition most of vintage racing karts I've seen in the last few years go for between $5K (single engine) and $15K (dual engine).
Although there are a few that brought big money.
