By 1993 the liquid cooled SX200 cylinder that I had raced since 1988 was at the end of its life. The cylinder wall was paper thin, and I had no faith in successfully sleeving it, particularly with all of the modifications I had made to convert it to liquid cooling and get 31hp out of it. "Elsie" was consistently one of the fastest bikes on the track during her heyday, and the potential for even more horsepower with added reliability will surely be an exciting prospect for Lambretta owners worldwide.
