That minuette would sure look spiffy with an open rocker Saito, or even an Enya.

Wow, they would each weigh as much as 2.5 Saito FA 30's, it looks right at home on it's new, soon to be home. Both are fine engines though. The FA 30-S is most likely more powerful than either.

that's a pretty little thing! all shinny and clean.

For sure they are heavier, less powerful too.
They do have a certain appeal that is hard to beat.
The modern FA-30s will do just fine, a sweet engine for sure.

Your suggested engines would surely go along with the theme though. I ordered that covering from the UK and the antique wheels from HH.

Themes are fine, if that works for you. Hard to beat modern technology for performance, if that works for you. I prefer the later and the newer style Saitos for appearance as well.

Just another hobby.
I am very open to both the old and the new Saitos.
Easy to appreciate certain aspects of both.
However, I did give away last year the very first Saito open rocker 30 I bought in 1979.


Put 300 miles on a 69 year old Triumph motorcycle today. Right alongside my buddy's brand new Honda.


Looking at and ready to buy a new, electric motorcycle tomorrow.
The Triumph will be staying either way.

"Performance" indeed has many definitions, attributes and priorities

Ritch's Brew has a web site, there is not much on it, it looks like you have to call them to order. I've never used their fuel. It might be worth a trial on my part.

Pretty popular fuel around here. He attends the Toledo RC Expo and sells direct at discount.
Good fuel, seen no problems with it.
He will make fuel any way you want it.

I have been using Riches brew for over twenty years in my Saitos with no problems. Randy is good people.

Good to know, I have two gallons of the Wildcat 10% with 18% full synthetic, I have stretched it by trying some S&W 15% with 17% full syn. I guess I'll order up some Ritches Brew with 10% and 20% full synthetic.


The best fuel I ever ran, my engines will miss it.

I was given a few cases of this stuff about three years ago. Maybe collector's item now!

Best I have used, for quite some time now. Should be able to get it as long as I need it.
They should do real well on Ritch's Brew too.
