Well, I don't get many chances to name-drop so I'll take this one...
4-times World Champion and close personal friend Kork Ballington has made a little video of himself, talking about his old square-four GP bike then firing it up and riding up the street.
He just sent me a link to it on YouTube. It's 7 minutes long - turn your speakers up !
Here's the bike, parked in his dining room alongside his KR250 and some of his trophies :

Excelent vid! Doesn't the 500 make the 250 look huge!
Never saw the KR500 on the track but do recall making the Tamiya kit! |

That's the first time I've ever been on You Tube, and it's fantastic!
KB's just got to do the 250 as well. Come on Tim, use your influence. _________________ Light is right. |

That KR500 was much quieter than I was expecting...
I was gonna have a word with you Chris but the only time I saw you, you were busy taking photos.

Kork emailed me another link last night. It shows him thrashing his KR500 round a little track. Stop playback before 1:48 if you're squeamish - he has a nasty accident and doesn't move for quite a while afterwards...
YouTube link.
Seriously, that is really cool and I want one. As far as I know, they only made these kits for the NSR and RGV500's, so some Japanese superfan has customised that in honour of his hero. |
