    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.

    The Wheel was a great invention; Two Wheels with a Motor in between was even better!

                              nice job !

                              did you all notice the footpegs kissing the track on that corner at the end of the video...woaaah ! just got saved !
                              A very good and safe biker not only because he can pop up either of the wheels,scrape his knees on a corner or go fast and make it look stylish but because he very well knows his limits and capabilities and has the patience to learn about others and ride safe ! :)
