old trials fanatic Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 At first glance it almost looks like a mono Yamaha with two shocks fitted. Very nice bike though and would love to see more piccys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trialsrfun Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 I think Tim Britain? may have tested a Kato Yam against a Majesty & std TY175 for the magazine at one time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon v8 Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 That was a Kato 175 replica owned by Craig Mawlam Craigs Kato is a lovely little thing,and goes very well.I cant remember how much he said it weighs,but I remember thinking it was closer to the weight of a mountain bike ! I'll take some photo's next time I see it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

woody Posted January 16, 2014 Report Share Posted January 16, 2014 And the Scorpa gear lever... I thought the engine in that bike was one of the factory six speed versions, not a 175/200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scot taco Posted January 17, 2014 Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 I did some more searching because I thought that I had seen that first pic before.I found it again on a website twinshock club by Patrick.Very neat looking bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
