Re: Flow Motion Project Blue Diablo
I think it's actually trying to look like a Porsche or a Volvo, but I'm not sure which. It's also gonna be absolutely take the piss loud, to the point it's probably unpleasant to ride.
Other than the exhaust though, I like it a lot.

I think it's inspired by terrorism rather than Suzuki, Volvo or Porsche.
They've put mirrors on it that enable the rider to look for explosives underneath cars.

They look like they're positioned so the rider can admire themselves. Like the shop window thing, but a stage further.Count Steer wrote: ↑Tue Feb 08, 2022 8:47 am I think it's inspired by terrorism rather than Suzuki, Volvo or Porsche.

Exposed front sprocket!
Especially when the guy pictured on it has long shoe laces

Re: Flow Motion Project Blue Diablo
I confidently predict that before long there'll be a custom with no mirrors but with a rear facing camera and a screen to stare at while you exit, stage left, through a hedge.Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Tue Feb 08, 2022 8:52 amThey look like they're positioned so the rider can admire themselves.

Re: Flow Motion Project Blue Diablo
I wouldn't be surprised if that exhaust fucks something anyway - look how close it runs (unshielded) to various electronics and plastic bits And the shock reservoirs.

Re: Flow Motion Project Blue Diablo
I cannot imagine for a second why I would dislike a bike that's got obvious functional issues. Not a clue
I actually quite like it, but take out the obviously dumb bits first please

Re: Flow Motion Project Blue Diablo
Am I missing it or is the exhaust unsupported all the way to the rear?

On my actual classic Triumph they're also unsupported between head and rear. I probably shouldn't hold that bike up as an example of good design though.

Re: Flow Motion Project Blue Diablo
Puts a lot of stress on the exhaust studs though, as they vibrate up and down. All that weight has to hang on something.Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Tue Feb 08, 2022 9:41 amSteel pipes are pretty good at supporting themselves TBF.The Spin Doctor wrote: ↑Tue Feb 08, 2022 9:32 am Am I missing it or is the exhaust unsupported all the way to the rear?

Especially when someone shoves a trolley jack under them to pick the bike up.

Re: Flow Motion Project Blue Diablo
Also - is it just me, or does it seem really weird than the chain is on the right hand side? I assume all of these Trumpets are like that, but I dunno, just seems off
