To be fair, the ad does say:
Real heat Turner. Lovely exhaust system.

To be fair they made it even worse looking which took some effort Unless that wasn't the goal

Re: Ebay 'WTF' bikes
How much do early rare Japanese bikes go for nowadays?
Ok, it may (probably won't) never meet the same level of desirability, but I doubt there are few of these about.

Flagship rare early Japanese bikes go for a chunk, sandcast CB750s come to mind. They were pretty market breaking at the time too, a mid range Korean knock off of a mundane modern Japanese engine isn't quite as iconic.

Re: Ebay 'WTF' bikes

Re: Ebay 'WTF' bikes
Not a lot of Firestorms get the street fighter treatment because of the side mounted radiators, it looks like that one has one of the two radiators relocated and the other removed, I bet it overheats!Supermofo wrote: ↑Sun Aug 16, 2020 2:10 pm Wow.
