Quite. I had a 350 Red Panther as a field bike back in my youth but it was not what I would call a quick engine. Old slogger and difficult to tune. The 350 was rated at only 15 bhp so the 250 would be even less, 10 bhp maybe, and certainly less powerful that a 250 Villiers 32A / 34A. Presumably just built for a bit of a laugh, certainly not going to win many races with that.Last edited by John Wakefield; 12/10/2019, 12:04 AM.

The engine came from one of these https://www.yesterdays.nl/product/pa...er-250-cc-ohv/ I wonder what happened to the original bike?

Would love to see that going round in the Greeves Championship. Mind you, Dave's scoring system may need adding to for Handicap points to suit this beast!Last edited by johnrunnacles; 12/10/2019, 11:06 AM.
