Sonny's bikes is GS500 with all the gsxr 750 stuff attached. It's pretty heavy for a stock engine.joe said:(Sonny's got an GS engine in an old GSXR chassis, doesn't he?).

I think his name was Jamie Barkley. He ran it in a few AFM events in the mid 1990s. It was exceptionally clean, and pretty quick.afm956 said:IIRC I saw an EX500 engine in a ZX-7 chassis, in one of the U.S. bike mags a few years ago.
It was pretty quick with the modified 4-valve head though!Mick-e said:Sonny's bike is GS500 with all the gsxr 750 stuff attached. It's pretty heavy for a stock engine.
