Just seen this thread lol (haven't been on here for years so I have an excuse!).

It wasnt a generator engine and certainly not a GX range. It was twin cylinder engine/DOHC. I had one (albeit back in 200-2002) and it was quicker than the Ecomoto's at the time - until they had an 'upgrade' lol. They were the best sounding 4 strokes ever!

I think it was first used in Denmark/Netherlands and was popular, before we got our hands on them.

The only problem was the cranks which were cast and not billet. They lasted a couple of years before giving up. Shame they weren't like the Biland cranks.

The RS stood for Russell Savory who owned a 4 stroke motorbike team in Hoddesdon where my brother knew him. Thats how we got the Open class started because at the time it was only senior modifieds - and we wanted a class that had more power - so Roger created it.

Anyway, this is the company but it looks like they dont do motorbikes anymore, and certainly no kart engines since the 360 lol.

Still have some pics if anyone is interested.
