I recently rode a stock cylinder R built by Kenny and it also had his pipe. It was very quick to come up on the pipe and once it was making power I just kept shifting. I was surprised how well it pulled my 385 pounds around. It’s difficult for me to really say that I liked the way the bike felt because I had just stepped off of my 396 R built exactly how I wanted. The Kenny Roberts 250R still had stock shocks and arms and it was set up for a guy that is 5’6” tall compared to my 6’2” height. So even though the chassis was almost scary for me, I was able to appreciate the engine/pipe combo.
