Team TDR
Team TDR will be testing the AY 2 Chassis in 2023 to evaluate and further develop Julian's dream motorcycle. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of the AY 2 project. I will be in full race form with a TDR 392cc engine that is our best overall engine that we have developed for racing in the under 400cc format. below are engine specs and dyno results. A full carbon fiber fuel tank, seat, and fairing will be fitted and sport the same black & yellow paint scheme.
