I actually thought the can was a nice compromise between old and new. Stylish,but in context.

You're wrong, it's gash

Meet the Yamaha GTS1000 Italian Resilience, a custom bike built by Lorenzo Frugaroli of FMW Motorcycles. The model year is 1993 and the Italian bike builder stripped down the GTS to create what looks like a statement of creativity. He still kept the front swingarm design and we have to say it looks rather special.

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

Did he also design custom centre consoles for Mk1 Capris?

Pretty sure I know someone with a GTS1000, can't remember who though.

Why do they have to make the arse end stick up like that, it looks ridiculous, otherwise it would look ok.

Would settle at a reasonable level with my fat arse on it

So the pillion can see over the rider's head.

No, its a Hurricane.....

No, its a Hurricane.....

Looks more like a Suzuki GT380 two-stroke triple to me. The Ram-air on the heads gives it away.

Or a 550 lump.

The 550 had electric start, but I can’t see either way in that pic.

It’s even got the Suzuki “binoculars” rear light.

And the left side front brake plate. I’d say it’s a Suzuki with the seat/tank unit bodged on.

[KungFooBob]

The reg comes back as a Suzuki.

Looks like a GT380 with an X75 body kit to me.

[JackyJoll]

Its a GT550, you can see a cable(rev counter?) just to the right of the fins, it comes off the front of the cover. 380s don't have that, they have a rev counter obvs but its from a different place

I can see that you’re a guy who remembers the 70s!

It's actually an SP1.

A very cheap SP1.

There must be something very very wrong with it.

Would the crash bung touch down before the peg

Yeah and that's a nasty SP1. Wish I'd have bought Potters or my mates one before than. Minters were 3.5-4k I could have ridden it and doubled my money. Loved the SP1 I had a go of

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

A mate has 2 SP1s (he might have 3), one is standard and one is a Moriwaki race bike, neither of them is very reliable, they have had killed a lot of ignition black boxes.
