Tandem twin on the cover from factory.
Rotary disk induction and in a funny way could be said to being a 1/2 RG 500.
I believe to be that this is the granny of the rotax twin.
Kawasaki used 2 125 barrels and cranks to make this

Very sorry indeed.
Admin please do remove the duplicates.
When submitted it came up as an error, hence I tried again and again.
It was not my intention to do this.

Is it just the picture or is that a semi-gloss type paint?

Yes, Iwork in mining.
"So many toys"?
I did buy most of my "toys" before my move into minning.

Clear gloss still has to be applied, but paint scheme nearly finnished*

Couple a pics of the progress, rest of painted panels arrive tomorow and after all is aligned the white stripes go on it.
The white is pearl and gives a great effect.
