500cc : Meguro Stamina-Sport KS Meguro 500cc : K Stamina of the Meguro tradition born in 1960. There was a sport motorbike which was held by this year and by which exhibition public presentation was carried out with that precedence trial production motorcycle in the 7th all Japan auto show. Meguro Stamina-Sport KS was reference goods called sport specification tuned up based on K Stamina. The style was the appearance which made still sportier K similar to the British Make motorcycles, such as BSA, and was what can also just be called Japanese version cafe racer. The fuel tank where all white coating was carried out is thin long type with the stage, and the emblem plate of the Meguro-wing was attached. A sheet is a crimson leather tension dual type, and it is thought that the red- and-white color with a fuel tank may probably have imagined the Rising-Sun flag. A handle is also a continental type with narrow width not by so-called "Lord ride" and the broad handle of the semi rise by which it was bantered but by low down. Small size light case plating specification of a shell form. The panel of the three parts of speed, rotation, and ampere is carried out to the handle top, and meter's are gorgeous. Especially a rotation meter is Meguro first loading. Probably for this reason, the drawer of the cable from engine is the touch which the axis of rotation was lengthened from the point part of Y form cover, and the gear case was prepared in the cover exterior, took a little, and was attached. The scale is minced finely and precise touch makes SMITHS's meter, as for the black plate of meter face, consider. Tire size is somewhat larger 19 inches than K. A fender is the specification of plating to the shallow press of an iris diaphragm of front-rear. Tune-ups are contents not only with appearance but essential engine suitable in sport specification. After forming into high compression the compression ratio of KH type engine which is a base with 8.3 to 9.7, the KHS type two cylinder OHV 4 cycle engine which twin-carburetor-ized the one cab is supposed that maximum output:39.0HP / 7000rpm, and top speed:180 km/h were driven out. Although the difference from KH type engine is in a cylinder head part by such a reason, it is said for others to completely have been common and can hear about the potential height of KH type engine. The carburetor is using not Mikuni-Amal 376-27 of K but two reams of Mikuni VM24. An air filter is a special thing said to each cab as the whole surface mesh of a lunch box form. The echo in auto show is large, and also from having decorated the cover of a journal, signs that it was a very conspicuous existence are observed, and are found. It seems that so, it was finished as this one set, without coming out of the import sport motorbike of the period to a market after all by the price which it easily exceeds since the present vehicle was entire reference exhibition and was the one-off motorbike to which it was presupposed that not mass production but hope receives order manufacture, although it seemed to have captured the spotlight of a maniac in part. Although all, such as a subsequent whereabouts, is unknown, Meguro bankruptcy is considered to have been placed into its company. *** Principal statistics *** * Total length : 2,140 mm * Full-width : 700 mm * Total height : 1,030 mm * Distance between axis : 1,430 mm * Weight : 185 kgf * Engine type : KHS type: Two cylinder OHV 4 cycle * Entire aerodynamic volume displacement : 497 cc * Installed capacity : 39.0 HP / 7,000 rpm * Full speed : 180 km/h * Fuel economy : 33 km/L * Transmission : Advance 4 step rotary * Tire : (Front) 3.25~19-4 / (Rear) 3.50~19-4 * Starting system : Kick
