But none the less the half pint BSA should have a comparable power to weight ratio or better than the tracker.


Have you been including the weight of the rider and his gear when you do your math? Huh

The bike can't do anything without the rider at the controls.

I was thinking of that but neglected to do so. Thinking the same amount of weight added would be close to the same percentage difference. But as things evolve I will get more accurate. Any way you look at it , it’s still a 250  with maybe a max of 30 H/P against the massive flywheel of the Savage and I haven’t a clue on that H/P. She never fails to amaze me with git up n go , power like a faucet , she is a 0-90 beast. Got in a bit of a drag race with Harley bobber shocked his as$ , I was gone while he was spinning the wheel he caught me at 76 mph and was pissed , blew right by me and never looked back. It’s like the bike knows when it’s time to shine , I lost but I also won ! Stupid bike scares me at times , I’ve ridden some really fast bikes and the tracker doesn’t compare but she will let you “ Just Kiss Fast” and give you that thrill. A guy asked me if it was for sale yesterday. I would never sell her , she’s my favorite bike , i could never build another. When you’re low she will pick you up and set you straight on life’s priorities.

1/2 pint is 237 ish CC. 250 is 1/4 liter, but show me an American who would get it.
Quartet liter just doesn't resonate like half pint.

I haven't followed this thread and don't know what bike you're talking about. Where do I need to go back to to pick your story up?

I can’t drink just a half pint, so I quit drinking all together.

Spring fever has struck here in Houston.  Lows in the mid 60s.  Highs in the mid 80s.  I’m riding until the hips and back say STOP and then I keep riding and deal with the pain later.  😆

When are you planning to have the BSA road ready?  Or did I miss the memo?

Hopefully Half Pint  will make her debut mid to late spring , along with the F100. If I’m gonna ride vintage I might as well drive vintage. But life always make our projects late. Maybe leak a pic or 2 when she’s a roller. Maybe not in anyone else’s eyes but she will be kinda special. Not a vintage to stare at but a vintage to ride the crap out of.       Cool

Con-rod issues required some design changes. I'm sure you're aware.


Good looking little outfit..
