Hi All

Abus paid £5000.00 sponsorship for the 1992 tt bike's hardly big money

The Rc and Rcw engines were  built out of from parts out of the reject bin.

Within the rotary's 1st year it won national class races with the rc588 air cooled engine {engine  from a police bike)on buger all budget.

With the water cooled Rcw588 engine {also the engine  from a police bike) and new frame it won the British championship in this bikes debut year. I would call the sponsorship average compared to other teams of the era.

In 1992 the Nrs won the tt, with a engine  and frame 1991 that was a  totally new design in 1991, no jps money in 92.

In other words the Sg2 should have won races by comparison.

We are not the ones drawing the comparison, Gauner like to do this, bragging about a 123mph lap with a 1000cc bike? putting the 19 on his bike is demeaning to the Shenston Norton Bike.



Regards Rc588
