THE BIKES...
FASCINATING 306 FACT (HONEST): When the crankcases cracked in 306's debut at Rowrah, disposable nappies were strapped under the motor in a bid to soak up the leaking oil. The back tyre had to be cleaned off between races.

2004-on
WR306 was a Yamaha TZR125 chassis, with beefed-up EMC rear shock and sticky Bridgestone tyres that made it handle better than anything we'd previously lashed up. The Zongshen motor was transferred from WR205, but not much of the original Zongshen stuff is left after the crankcases broke in 306's first outing, leaving us to fit a tougher Honda bottom-end.

Its unreliablity was enough to see off Billy Silcox, who went club racing after finishing the 2006 season. The others continued into 2007, but it was a year of mechanical pain and two major engine blow-ups. The second was terminal as there was no sign of a piston when the cylinder head was removed. The project was immediately abandoned.

DID YOU CARE?

Weeble thought 306RR was uncomfortable. Poor thing (the bike, not Weeble).

Tuned Monkey motor in bendy RD50 frame. Ouch.
