There's good beer.

Then there's just beer.

Then there's bad beer.

And finally, there was Watney's Red Barrel.

I heard that the previous owner had a BO problem.

Big Bang motor in a 4XV....

Big power and torque can be a nightmare in mud, as soon as you touch the throttle the bike goes sideways, my 450 was harder to ride in mud than the 125.

I remember riding a CR500 and fighting to keep the front wheel down and the back wheel from spinning up and stepping out sideways and thinking HTF does anyone race this in mud!

My Husky has 50 gee gees and weighs 105Kgs. But it's a big softy until you give it full noise. Then waaaaargh.

But it does have a softer engine map as well. For girls.

Trawling through some images from the Classic TT earlier & this popped up.

It's been for sale for a while and the pictures look horrendous, but he put a video of it up a few days ago and it looks a bit better - maybe because he videoed it using a potato and the quality is so bad you can't see it properly, but it does look better on video than in pictures.

I reckon it rides badly, someone has taken a lot of time to build that - and then quickly sell it on.

I thought to myself "the video can't make it look worse" but yeah it could !

I remember the EML Mx sidecar outfits using 980cc XS motors and destroying everything.
Engine has a lot of potential.
At £8.5k he's dreaming of course, but I've always had a soft spot for the old 650

It looks gash, the forks look a good couple of inches too short, among many other horrible bits, it's going to steer like a shopping trolley.

Me too and I agree, I too have a soft spot for them from my old man having had an XS2 back in the early 70s

Am not a fan of the one you linked to, but as non-standard ones go, I quite like this one

RATICATE RACING KTM 1190 XLSM

You'll need your browsers translate function if you can't read Fronch.



Not sure about the front mudguard, but I like the idea of an 1190 Motard, it's just bonkers.

EDIT:

Oh it's on Bikexif too, from ages ago...
