It's got bags of character apparently. I can't see the fixing points though.

Re: Ebay 'WTF' bikes
I think what we have here is a great example of what happens when someone has too much money and no effing clue. They modify their motorcycle to make it truly awful and having ridden it and confirmed that it's now utter shite, they expect to sell it for what it cost to build plus 'hipster tax'. It rarely works !KungFooBob wrote: ↑Fri Dec 03, 2021 8:45 pm Ignoring the fact I was searching t'bay for XR1200's. This is fuckin' awful!

£2,995.00... are they having a giraffe?
If it were standard, it would be worth a bit more than it cost new, but that pile of sh!t would cost more to put right than it's worth.

Re: Ebay 'WTF' bikes
Not a bike, not ebay.
Someone is selling this on Friendface Marketplace.
It's a kit to convert a Z900Rs to twinshock!!!

Re: Ebay 'WTF' bikes
At first sight it makes sense, Z900RS, sort of retro version, and old bikes had twin shocks.
BUT original twin shocks did NOT have piggy back reservoirs on them! Nor were they painted in lairy colours.

On 'The Bike Bay' on Friendface...
I'd like to think it's a typo, but it is a old and shit, so maybe not.
