[QUOTE="David Trustrum, post: 164350, member: 21529"] RSs are brilliant bikes, but the power characteristics & the gearbox are suited to high speed on hard pack surfaces (tarmac) where you don’t have to slow down for the corners. Unless your beach racing differs from what I remember here I think your launch speed out of loamy corners will be somewhat depressing. My first racestart on an RS had me releasing the last mm of clutch at about 50mph only to have the bike bog & I just remember saying “You’re joking there can’t be MORE!?!” Obviously yours will be geared down (from ~ 1.8:1 to 3:1) but I remain sceptical. Prove me wrong & have a good time. But a smaller carb (that has a change of fitting into the airbox) will help down low, skim the base of the barrel to lower the exhaust & a decent pipe to suit the conditions. [/QUOTE]
