              Small update people..further improvements have been made and are looking quite encouraging. The Ghost Apache is quicker and faster now. At this stage we're targetting a quick 150kph true speed (around 160kph on speedometer) while still being a reliable daily ride. Will complete latest set of improvements before doing VBOX testing and next video shoot.

                    This RTR depicted here has a lot more work and the list is quite short in the first post.
                    This is the real list of the goodies.
                    Fully modified Custom cylinder head with an all new port deisgn.
                    Larger CV carb
                    Big valve with custom ground and home-made valve springs/retainers
                    All new hand crafted valve train components
                    Fully custom - Regrind, full race camshaft and makes power till 12500rpm
                    Larger cylinder with custom sleeve
                    Racing semi-forged and hard anodised piston, milled to spec
                    custom head gasket
                    Fully tuned race exhaust
                    205cc engine capacity
                    Stiffened clutch
                    custom racing ignition
                    12.5:1 - compression ratio
                    Revised, taller final gearing
                    2.15 x 17 rear rim with 100/80 x 17 tyre

                    And a lot more
                    Runs on pump gas in street and on speed 97 in race tune.

                    A lot of work is pending and the machine and this is just the first state of tune. Have been busy with other tasks and this was finished in a limited time frame. watch for more updates soon.
                    V-box figs will be updated in a few days/weeks.

                    Joel
                    Joel, I know this is OT, but after reading this, I feel impatient man. Please develop similar kits for the 220 dtsi. You know how desperate and committed I am to your mods.

                        Been waiting for a while to see the VBox figs now! But then, there is no lack of credibility here, I still remember that 177kmph RD!

                            Yes 'The Ghost' we need some updates on this. Apache even as a stock bike is a killer, now the killer is promoted to ghost really want to know about the ghost.
                            @Joel have you started working on the new H CBR250R? If yes, I need an appointment with you one day.

                              The CBR work is due. Will start in a bit.
                              Also, the ghost is under hibernation coz I'm busy with my racing weekends. Have big plans.

                                So can we also expect 200/220 upgrade to powerwheelie in 1st gear? Bro if u can make 200/220 powerwheelie, u will be my most fav person in this world (u already are but then u will be even more fav ). Desperately waiting for 200/220 kit.
