El Solitario - BIG BAD WOLF

































"BIG BAD WOLF" is the result of the collaboration between El Solitario MC and Yamaha Yard Build.
Love this Yamaha XJR1300 and the amount of high-end race stuff involved is definitely mind-blowing.
This is the Glemseck Sprint winner in the flesh.
Following words are straight from the press release:

...." Key to the success of the project was the collaboration with Mauro Abbadini, from Classic Co. as technical director of the build, he brought with him the confidence and know how of a veteran racer and winner of many battles. 

The ‘Big Bad Wolf’ AKA: BBW, has almost everything custom made with the exception of the frame, the tank, the handlebars and the rear light, reducing the wet weight to just 183kg. The Motor was blueprinted and the heads were ported and flowed. The intake port flow was increased by 50%. Compression was raised from 9.7-1 (Stock) to 10.7-1. The rods were reinforced with titanium bolts and the crankshaft was rebalanced. 

All the electronics and were removed and state of the art Lectron 42 Carburetors were added, developed specifically for the BBW by Lectron Fuel Systems on their flow bench to be plug & play on delivery. A Dynatek Programmable Ignition was installed. The work takes the power up to 148 BHP at the rear wheel.

Dymag carbon fibre wheels
