    Goddamn it sparkle I was doing that. Without looking what’s the capacity of a CBx 1000.

    Rebus. That or works of Isaac Asimov. Though I suspect either would involve a lot of work, and that having read all of those books multiple times probably wouldn’t cut it.

    In reality then I’d probably be far better off with history of off-road unicycling 😉

    I’d probably go with the life and times of Philip J. Fry actually, on thinking about it.

    The efficacy of mediaeval torture methods when used upon Piers Morgan.

    Not something I know a great deal about, but I’d be willing to do extensive research.

    I’d possibly go for something ridiculously complicated that no one could possibly know all the the answers to:

    One-One Inbred frame types and pricing variations for December 2012, for example.

    Boydells toy store, a name I have not heard for many years.

    used to love going in there every Saturday with never any money, looking and dreaming!

    Characters and quotes from obscure science fiction films of the 1990s. At the very lest, that should get the researchers a bit challenged.

    Worryingly similar to Tazzy, apart from the single speed bit cos that’s just weird.

    Swallows and Amazon adventures 😳

    This actually happened a few years back and I got 2 less than the bloke in the chair. He got 15 or something, I was disturbed about how much of the information I had retained. If only remembering stuff for O and A levels had been so easy.

    zippykona – which was allegedly the first of the ‘sports 250’s’ to be radar timed at 100mph?
    Apart from the engine size and the 250 or 350 sticker on the side panels what were the two obvious physical differences between a RD350LC and a 250?

    Pigface

    Single disc or double disc. Not sure about the other difference.

    Kh250 was the first I thought.

    MrSparkle
    Full Member

    Discs is one. Half a point for that. ;0)

    KH250 – it’s good but it’s not right (well, according to the info I have)

    Mmmmm if it is a Jap 250 could be the GT250 that had the “Ram Air” legend on the fins.

    Could be something weird and Italian 😆

    The history of 650bs 2013-2013

    The celebrity (sic, who were any of them?) was remarkably dumbed down. No wonder the winner made it look so easy!

    X7 for the 250?

    And the colours were different on the LC?
    Not sure about that one, tbh!

    Rusty – X7 yep, that’s the kiddy.
    No, not the colours.

    Bugger.

    I think the 250 had a different cush drive, but not really external.
    Could be mirrors, but I’m just guessing now.

    Oh, and can you name 4 Hondas with those horrible enclosed discs?

    X7 really???? they came along quite late to the party.

    Did the 350 LCD have 2 horns as well as the discs? X7 was meant to be first but in real life probably Elsie.
    Do I get points for mentioning that the 350lc shared the same front end as an xj550?

    MrSparkle
    Full Member

    Not the mirrors. Cush drive was the same afaik as rear wheel was the same.
    Clue – heres a 350:

    and here’s a 250: http://motorcyclespecs.co.za/Gallery%20%20A/Yamaha%20RD250LC%2080%20%201.jpg

    Beep, beep!

    Several sources give the X7 as being 1st 100mph 250. http://www.suzuki-gt.co.uk/images/Reference%20Library/Ton%20Up%20Temptation.pdf

    Ah horns 😆

    There was some discussion on here about how fast a rd350lc could go, found some figures that a SS tuned one did 130 mph which is insane and must of been like riding a grenade with the pin pulled 😆

    Very fast those LC speedos. 🙂

    I think Zippy gets to post the next q.

    And can anyone answer the Honda q from the last page?

    Very fast 😆 Stan Stephens reckons he could get a 50% power increase out of 2 stroke motors 😯

    One of the VF things had enclosed brakes and I would put a pound on on the Aspencade having them.

    VT 250 and 500, VF500?

    RustySpanner

    Correct with the VF400.
    Had forgotten about the Wing.

    3 more I can remember.

    Not the VF500, but yep, the VT’s had ’em.

    Think lovely exhaust and crap camchain tensioner.

    I was confused fer a mo there, thinking about the VF750 chocolate cam thing but, yeah, the CBX550 of course. Blimey, memory lane.
