Dans bike made 94.8bhp...Dave has ridden both,back to back and says his bike is faster. It has slightly different cams so i expect it to make 95+BHP. It runs that well 'straight out the box' so to speak...

ROSS-TRUM - MANX GRAND PRIX 2012

Ross Johnson went into this years Manx Grand Prix, hoping it could be lucky number thirteen and finally take winners laurels in the Lightweight race, onboard his Kawasaki ZXR 400. With his freshly tuned RMKD engine, he was more confident than ever. Practice week showed potential, with Ross being second fastest in the time sheets with a speed of 106.793MPH, set on the Thursday Evening. An anticipated late charge from a particular rival based in the north east of the country unsurprisingly, did not materialise.

RMKD mounted Bob Farrington was also 'on the pace' in practice with a lap speed of 100.365MPH.

In the race, Ross Johnson was in second at the end of lap one, and with Howarth retiring on lap two, it put Johnson in the lead. A dream first win to top the ross-trum was on the cards. Tim sayers cut the gap to 2 seconds by the bungalow on the final lap, but Johnson hung on to win with an average speed of 103.196MPH. Bob Farrington came over the line in a strong 8th place.

To summarise... If you want to win, with good reliability, you want an RMKD engine, 'liKe'.

Nick-ER Slick-ER... Derby Phoenix Cadwell Park 13-14 October

New kid on the block Nick Anderson, the Scarborough Uni pre-graduate debuted for team RMKD in the F400 / Mini thunderbikes class. The invincible Dan Frear made his debut onboard his new ER-6 Supertwin, which meant a win was almost impossible.

With too much youthful exuberence earlier in the weekend, and a few dubious technical infringements on behalf of the Derby Phoenix technical staff, it was left to the last outing of the weekend to grind out a result. With Dan Frear heading home due to having unsuitable tyres for the wet conditions, Nick could see nobody to challenge his pace in the mini-thunderbikes class. Stepping onto the stock ER for the first time all weekend from the back of the grid, Nick wasted no time in catching the bumbling pack. Powered by his new RMKD engine Dan stamper being the only person to shine out in the gloomy conditions. By the end of lap 2, Nick was in a dominant lead in the mini-thunderbikes class, chasing BSB bound Stamper for outright victory. He pulled further away from rivals in his class, finishing 4 seconds behind outright winner Dan Stamper. He confidently pointed towards the sky whilst wearing his winners cap, before later slurping a celebratory drink of champers from his winners pot, which he had rightfully earned.

With his feet now well and truly locked under the RMKD table after that sterling result, it has now left team boss Roger Middleton with a dilemna of how quickly to move onto the next level.

Cock of the north...Pole...24th/25th July

The RMKD team were anxious about the debut meeting of their newly finished ER6 Supertwin as they headed to Olivers Mount. A few laps of Cadwell Park 3 weeks earlier had showed its potential but hardly a shakedown and with Ryan Farquhar, Adrian Archibald,Ian Lougher and Ian Pattinson in the line up it was going to be a tough call.

Free practice showed a few flaws in the suspension set up and adjustments were made. Timed qualifying was next up and Dan Frear was on the money...setting pole and dipping under Farquhars lap record. Everything going to plan and more ! unfortunatly whilst leading from the off Dan encountered a slight problem with the throttle and had to retire, the 'problem' which we thought we had cured then occured again in Sundays race and again he retired the ER. A little bit dissapointed but not disheartened by the 'straight out the box' potential.

Dan also rode the RMKD ZXR 398cc and the results were a formality,no one getting within 4 seconds of his lap time and he brought the little Kawasaki home untroubled some 20 seconds ahead of his nearest rival James Cowton on his Honda.

Thundersport is go !.... Cadwell Park 29th/30th May

This meeting was supposed to be the debut outing for the long awaited Kawasaki 650 supertwin/GP2 machine we have been developing over the winter. A very busy work load has ment our own bike has had to take a back seat and we narrowly missed the deadline.

Having the option of the the reknown zxr 398! or the stock engined er6 Dan Frear opted for the ever competative zxr. With only 5 laps completed of the 20 minutes timed qualifying Dan was happy to take his front row position, only being pipped by the Alan Percival. Race one saw the lead change several times eventually Dan taking 2nd place behind Marty Lennon and his rapid ER650 with Alan Percival 3rd. A slight engine fault in the 2nd race saw Dan pull the little Kawasaki up and retire from the race.

Monday saw the heavans open and the RMKD team opted for the 650 Kawasaki, a good decision as the first race saw Dan take a solid 3rd after a few close calls in the appauling conditions and take a well earned win in the 2nd race after a race long battle with Marty Lennon on a much quicker bike.

Mondays racing is due to be televised on Motors TV 16th June.

Will.i.am the F400 man...... Cadwell 20th March 2011

Will Leanings RMKD debut couldnt have gone any better, showing maturity beyond his years he lead the first f400 race but slowed on the last lap allowing his elder brother Josh to take the win prefering to start the trophy and points races from grid 3 and the 'better run up coppice'. His plan worked and he won both the remaining races putting in the fastest laps of the day. All three f400 races went to the Leaning brothers,Josh on the RMKD powered zxr400 had a few 'gear selection problems' settled for using his track time as a steady warm up for the NG event in April. Will was trouble free on the RMKD number one bike...ususally ridden by Dan Frear....and made the most of his rapid mount. In fact he even had the now 'usual' mutterings of 'big bore....and 440' banding about...amusingly enough from riders who arnt in the same league talent wise and 'pit crew' who could hardly prepare a spoon for an 'egg and spoon race'.

To all the doubters outhere...fill in the official 'protest form' and bring along £350 and we will gladly remove the cylinder head and let you measure our 398cc rocket...

Highs and lows. Thundersport Cadwell Park 7th/8th August

Dan Frears return to the RMKD team didnt quite go to plan, after breaking his foot badly whilst competing in the prestigious BSB superstock at Cadwell he could have done with a bit of luck to make his track return.Opting to ride the 750 Kawasaki in view to running it at Scarboroughs Gold cup in September. Not the latest machinery from the Kawasaki factory but certainly not short on bhp and pedigree, he was hoping to raise a few eye brows. With only a 20min qualifying session to get aquainted with the bike,but a flat battery cut that short...in fact 5 laps and a qualifying position of 17th, it was going to be hard work to carve out a result. Undetered Dan was getting more familiar with the bike as the weekend went on. In Sundays last race he was in a podium postion untill his ankle injury plagued him and he had to settle for 5th which was his best result of the weekend, not bad for a 15year old zxr750!

Graham 'Bud' Frear didnt have much luck either,choosing to ride the newly finished GP2 spec zxr4 he was in a similar position to Dan having only 20mins to learn and qualify on the bike, but he pitted after one lap with a 'tight' engine...as we hurriedly aborted plans to use the new bike and run the F400 bike we returned to the paddock to realise we had robbed the battery for the 750. Which gave him just 3 laps to put a qualifier in and a position of 20th on the very competative grid. The luck did turn tho and a best result of 5th and his best time ever on a 400 of 1m37.7 was impressive.

Alex Huchinson with an RMKD powered zxr was also in impressive form in the GP2 class with two wins and two seconds and a best lap of 1m36.4! Undoubtedly the best lap by a zx4 round Cadwell ever ! Alex now has a comfotable lead in the GP2 championship over Alex Heaton.
