Default The Ghost Apache

A project of mine. Built by Joel to be the Quickest and Fastest Street Spec Apache RTR in the country.





Spec
-----
-Big Bore 205cc
-Big Valve Ported High Compression Head
-Big Carburettor + K&N Air Filter
-Custom Race Cam & Ignition
-Custom Full Blown Race Exhaust
-Weight ~ 115kgs

This engine has already proven itself (in an earlier toned down version on full drag chassis) @ 14.8 Sec Quarter Mile. Currently the bike is on par performance wise with Joels Street Spec R15

VBox testing to be done soon for latest Speed / Acceleration figures and as development continues...

HD Video - Initial test session at Kari Motor Speedway, Coimbatore:

Running on R15 rear wheel/tire and battlax front tire in this video, Speedo error is less than a stock Apache due to taller tire profile.
