Diff'rent Strokers

[Tom Mac]

Copied from another forum for Rich:
Don't know where to start really but my Yamagamma has been pinched from my locked garage in the Hastings / St Leonards on Sea area some time in the past couple of days. I can't say exactly when it went as I haven't been round there since last weekend but I discovered it this afternoon when I went to take the RSV-R out that is also in there. Confusingly, the RSV-R was still there untouched but the garage door handle had been forced and the hasp cropped. We found the intact padlock nearby. They have then cut through the cable lock that was round both bikes, and presumably wheeled/dragged the Yamagamma out of the garage past the RSV. I am both gutted as I built the bike from the ground up a couple of years ago but also relieved that the RSV was untouched. I'm also very puzzled as to why someone would take it. The bike is unique and very recognisable in both looks and sound. I know it inside out and would recognise almost any part from it as it had many non standard parts. However, someone knew it was there as they knew exactly which garage to go for. I haven't even ridden it since last October and the garage can't be seen from the road.

I have posted up a number of pics and some of the unique parts are as follows:

Based on 1986 RG250 MK3
Reg D29 UGK
Yamaha 350 YPVS motor (clear window clutch cover, Banshee oil pump cover)
Lomas pipes, Tyga cans
Home made 'right way up' gearchange linkage
KR1 carbs, TZR choke mechanism
KR1 throttle
Oval Ramair filters
Divvy forks
FZR400 83mm spacing 4 pot front calipers
GSXR yokes, 3MA clip ons, grey Renthal grips
Koso RX1N digital clocks with white face
4x17 Brembo rear wheel from SZR660
3x17 TZR250 3MA front wheel both powdercoated white almost unmarked
Modern shock (not sure if R1 or GSXR) with yellow spring and piggyback reservoir (as pic)
Recently powdercoated silver standard RG250 swingarm
Hand painted lucky strike paint job

the bike suffered some damage to the wiring where it was hotwired, a few paint chips and the rotor has come loose so possibly some engine damage as well but fingers crossed its alright.
