Trying to finish the Gamma on the ramp in next couple of weeks. Need to straighten the birdcage, rebuild water pump, upgrade transmission gears, complete wiring, rebuild rear brake master.

bought the rs250 from Russ 'socal250' last year.
Bike needs a full service since it was sitting for a really long time. I will also be stripping the engine apart as I found all the coolant in the oil when I drained.
Purchased all the parts for rebuild from megazip including new crank. More parts including cougar red cylinder heads, PV and zeel ignition from tuningworks.uk.

Shooting to finish before May so I can do some trackdays on it.

Is that a Martek hiding at the back with the gold forks?

motosapien

Yes it is. Will start building it when Mark Dent send pipes.

Nice. What motor are you pitting in there, RZ or RG?

I hope I'm not the only one who had to Google Martek! How did you know, Rodney; is the frame design distinctive?
I post waayyy too much

Mark Walker is a welding genius. He uses that aluminum box section a lot. Along with a bunch of CNC billet parts his frames are over the top.
Mark Dent exhausts are pieces of art.


I dont even want to know how much that was to buy and have shipped from the UK, but I would like to have one.

Holy buckets, those are gorgeous, all of 'em! Thanks Rodney  :thumbs:
So, sapien, how about bragging on your Martek a little? I can't be the only one out here who wants to hear about it!  :popcorn2:

Oh where do I start [emoji23]

Dealing with martek is a nightmare. I paid in full and waited almost a year, then I completely lost it and had my friend drive up to martek and pick up my frame kit.
I know atleast 10 people who have paid full for various parts and are waiting since 2 years.

As nice as it looks, is definitely not worth all the back and forth BS and dealing with martek. My 2cents... stay away from this vendor.

Here are some pics of how my buddy packed and shipped it.
Shipping was under $300 and arrived in 4days.
