This is called the orange whip. The pics were taking by Ruud (thx Ruud) in England. The engine is 650 cc nitro injected. They tried bigger but ended up blowing it up. Notice the extra bolts and heavy alu plate on the cilinderhead holding the engine together. I´ll see to add more info. Click the pic for more.

More on Bob´s excellent site about this bike .

Got a mail from Philip Edwards

Thanks for providing some great information and links on your site I was very interested to see the pictures you had of the Orange Whip under Drag and
sprint with XS650 under the heading Dragracing and the link you provided to more info on this great bike I can inform you that this bike is still running in the
UK under a different name after the bike burnt out and was rebuilt as Whiplash it now has a Shorrock C75 super-charger fitted there are some photos and
up to date race info on this bike and rider on www.dreadsbikersite.com/Directory.html under new pages (SSR4.2001)and under Drag Racing (SSR2.2000)

Thx for sharing. I mirrored a couple of the pictures of the Whiplash . Enjoy.

20/11/2001 - Dread updated the info on the Whiplash, check it out!!!

Tony Hall from Halco tuning built this. 840 cc, air shifter. Probably even more trick stuff, but I have to look up if I got some more info on this.
