KIM NEWCOMBE KONIG by ROD TINGATE

Kim Newcombe's 1973 season mechanic Rod Tingate built a Konig 500cc replica frame & chassis and installed a 4cyl marine engine given to him by Dieter Konig. He provides a brief overview of some of the engine cooling challenges in converting the powerplant from marine use to motorcycle GP. Recorded in 2004 by the producers of Love Speed & Loss documentary,

What Kim did with this bike was phenomenal. Congratulations on building the replica Rod.

Fascinating. What might have been had Kim lived.

What a great bike that could have taken Kim Newcombe to the World title.

I think I remember seeing this bike at Cadwell park when I was a little kid, There was a similar bike with a Hillman Imp engine, I had seen both in engines outfits but it seemed strange in a solo cycle, Fascinating to watch thanks for uploading
