With Phil Aynsley
Fabio Taglioni’s Pantah collection of bikes had been of nice consequence – from their beginnings in 1977 via to when the essential engine design was changed by the Superquadro motor that appeared within the 2011 Panigale.
I’ll cowl the preliminary fashions in a later column however for now I’ll check out the ultimate “Pantah”, the 650SL of 1984.
The 650SL was one thing of a particular, required to permit the homologation of the 750cc TT1 engine. Consequently solely 288 had been constructed with most, if not all, exported to Australia.
The principle change from the 600SL was the rise in stroke from 58 to 61.5mm (which may then be used for the 750 motor), though the bore was additionally elevated by 2 mm to 82 mm.
Energy was raised from 58 hp at 8700 rpm to 63 hp at 8500rpm.
Different modifications from the 600SL included using CEV indicators, Nippon Denso instrument cluster, Oscam wheels and a purple/yellow slightly than silver/purple or purple/inexperienced color scheme. Weight was 180 kg.
The 650SL’s rarity makes it a extremely kind after mannequin as of late!
