Don't know what sort of horsepower they are putting out though, would be interesting to find out :smt026

I recall they (350's) had 72-ish BPH back in 1981. Huh, the 350 in the vid has TZ750 bits in the engine, so possibly 100 plus hp? Yikes, better belt in there cowboy if you ride this one.

A stunning build! but,
for me it looks weird not having a rear disc fitted.
Apparently he's done this on purpose because he wants you to look at the wheels.
I think a nice small disk and calliper looks trick! :smt045

That's the sound of TZ's.
Dunno Why he went to the trouble of reversing the TZ cyls... ' Lookit Me' as a guess.
Yes it reverses the thrust side wear but TZ's took a fair beating on their Ex side already and intake ports were already as big a clever engineer would make them.
These were one Race weekend maybe 2 .. between rebuild engines
That was an arguable HP claim.
Also 750s were 350's doubled up. So cyls /pistons/heads/cranks are Same :smt002
