One of Rudi's bikes that is not there is one of his early' machines from circa 1966 with the Honda 440cc 'Black Bomber' engine. the chassis was a monocoque box section IIRC with mini wheels and by contemporary standards handled like a dream :)

Don't suppose there are any pics of that bike anywhere :?: :?: ;)

These are fantastic bits of kit, years ahead of their time. Compere these with the rubbish we were riding in this country at the same time. :roll: :roll:
