VFR750 RC24 6X

The chain and sprocket set was old and mismatched. it was time for a replacement but off the shelf was just not going to cut it.

Finding a replacement chain at a more suitable weight would be tricky enough but I was now running a CBR600 F3 rear wheel  which ran a 525 pitch chain to add a little complication.

My first season was a blast and I have grown to realy like the buzzy little aircooled two stroke. Before I got her however the idea of running the newly eligible VFR750 RC24 in the CRMC's superbike class had been discussed at length. This idea had not left me and when the opportunity appeared I...
