December 28, 200916 yr Author Thanks a lot for the info! Is he the same Kato who later on worked for Yam? I did not know much about those 3-4 works bikes. Have catched 2 at same time on a photo when I was a kid... :-)
December 28, 200916 yr I seem to remember Don Smith, Mark Kemp and Richard Sunter riding all-black engined "450s" in the Scottish, they had a very large triangular silencer if memory serves. I wonder where they are now.
December 29, 200916 yr Yes,it was the same guy who later worked for Yamaha.I'am not shure but it could be that Barry Sheene had also one of the 450 KT's. Chrs:Mike
December 30, 200916 yr I seem to remember Don Smith, Mark Kemp and Richard Sunter riding all-black engined "450s" in the Scottish, they had a very large triangular silencer if memory serves. I wonder where they are now. Melted down for Salmon tins probably! Yep, Don, Mark and Richie tried to campaign them. Well, not the 450's maybe. But the KT 250 never took off. Never 'felt' right somehow. Other bikes at the time were more competitive, no dearer to buy and easier to get bits for. Well, thats My memories of the bike. Looked good though!!
