Fromafar Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 I think the ones that have been bought through the BSPA are sealed but like Freddies and others who have had if previously/bought it full price were unsealed?Is sealed and unsealed not just a case of tuners protecting business by not letting others see their work.So it should not matter.The bikes all have to legal when checked.They can be stripped down if required .GTR say they only produce one camshaft .So it is entirely up to setup to get the best out of a 500cc bike on a speedway track.

OveFundinFan Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Agree.Clearly the standard unit ,which is deffo not what Freddie is riding. I know it will take time for set ups etc but I bet Freddies ain't got the same service interval as the sealed unit. see post #1212 of this link http://www.speedway-forum.co.uk/forums/index.php?showtopic=79314&page=81 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCB Posted May 26, 2017 Report Share Posted May 26, 2017 Freddie's bike probably is the same as everyone else's. The difference is the engine (all of them) were made to suit Freddie. I imagine if any top riders swapped bikes it would work for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tsunami Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 Gerhard Engines produce/supplies just ONE version of the GTR. Just ONE engine set-up. FF has the same engine as we delivery to UK and the rest of the world. FF is not a test/works rider of Gerhard Engines. He is a client who tested the GTR end of 2015 and decided to equip himself with GTR engines for the upcoming season. He bougt 2 and then other 3. 2 GTR for UK and other 5 for Poland, Sweden and the SGP series. It may helps to understand why we have just ONE set-up if you would know more about the idea of Marcel Gerhard. He wanted to create a engine with a modern technology which allowed the engine to run for a longer time. In every other Motorsport category it is possible, so why don't in Speedway too, he thoughs. Having the knowledge of more than 30 years working on GMs and Jawas as tuner and been working a lot on Motocross, Endure, Supermotard engines too and he expirence as a former Speedway rider/ Longtrack Worldchampion the company had the best combition base to realise what we wanted. A fairer competition, supplying riders with the same equipment, saving the riders/promotors costs and try to give the sport a easier way for youngster to get in and the most important thing... to keep them in Speedway. Agree.Clearly the standard unit ,which is deffo not what Freddie is riding. I know it will take time for set ups etc but I bet Freddies ain't got the same service interval as the sealed unit. Really ?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
