Quite a cohesive design there. There would have been some graft involved. I don't want it,but I do admire it.

I like it, but could do without the rear tyre being quite so wide.

the only way to guarantee anyone can see an image from something like facebook is to download the jpg file itself and host it again somewhere (eg an attachment in the forum)rodbargee wrote: Thu Sep 23, 2021 4:59 pm image has been dissapeared I only opened the image in another tab and used that URL so hadn't copied the image only its address but thats gone too

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Standard ones have wet clutches, it'll be a race kit clutch, I still wonder if I did the right thing buying a YZF750R when I could have bought an OW01 with the same mileage for the same money (£5500 in 1996), the YZF was a lot nicer to ride.KungFooBob wrote: Sun Sep 19, 2021 8:35 am Really Nice OW01 fully restored by Speedwerks with YEC kit parts.

I didn't know they had dry clutches...

Slightly worrying that the seller doesn't know the difference between an RS and RT.
Even bland can be a type of character
