Fancy a Superduke with an IL4 engine?

No. Not with an IL3 either.

I wonder if there was anyway of getting 100 horse power out of the KTM motor. I also wonder if the Triumph motor is a whole lot lighter than the KTM. I wonder if the Frankenbike was due to using what the team had in parts, like , we have a busted up Triumph with a good motor and a blown motor on this here KTM, let us combine the two to make one and throw in that Harley tank over there in the corner.
Has this team consistantly won from combining parts?
Triumph must be pissed that racers cannot rely on them to make a decent chassis and versa-visa.
It seems a bit pricey to me

When Viking was racing a Superduke in the Thundersport series the top bikes/fastest bikes were all triumph triples. He was always chasing a power deficit. You basically need one to win that series.

yes but then he was racing street fighter A class ,when this bike is in the B class and i maybe wrong but all you should do to go down to the B class is restrict the motor to 100 bhp, easily done with tune ecu no?
