JSR29, did you build it yourself? Care to go into a few detals for me/us?

And damn dude, that engine looks clean. Very nice.

This stated life as a 95 916 Strada. One of the first in the US. Which I bought new.
I broke it in on the street and then started racing it in Twins and Heavyweight classes in supersport trim against the GSXR’s, ZX-7’s, and YZR’s of the day.

A racing incident that required some parts replacement and the increasing speed of the new Suzuki 750’s started the bike down the road to what the photos show.

Probably the only original parts remaining on the bike are the frame, rear subframe (amazing considering the times it’s crashed) swingarm pivot, ECU, rear axle, and rear brake m/c and caliper.

The bike has gone through several configurations and probably at one time or another has suffered any and all of the usual maladies that effect desmoquattros. But I still have it. I still ride it. And I doubt I’ll ever get rid of it.

Dave Moon at MCC in Villa Park, IL does my engine work.
Doug Lofgren did FI tuning.
Peter Kates, GMD Computrak Boston did geometry and suspension.
I take it apart and put it back together.
