Imagine swapping it for a CR/KX500 lump

There's enough room in there for a Z1300 engine

Yeah, but look at the steering arrangement, you'd never get it round a corner!

[Druid]

Just like a Z13 then?

Could be scary if you turn too far at 'speed'

Going at speed with the front wheel turned near 90° would be interesting enough


A mate had one because he could drive it on a bike licence. It had a 'dynastart', combined electric starter and dynamo. But, as someone said earlier, typically lift the bonnet and kick start!

With the Citroen logo, I assume that's a 2CV engine?

I'd guess so, yes...

In a bonkers way, I like that for being very different thinking

Now, instead of a space under the seat, is someone going to comment on space around the engine?

Agree. It's a chopper but without the usual US styling and I quite like it....

checking the valve-clearances is going to be fun.... it's now an engine-out job.

I don't expect it will be ridden far enough to warrant a check.

Very cool visually,though.

Actually looks quite cohesive for once.

That's really close to being lovely. The fugly frame is a bit of a downer but I think I could live with it. I wonder how uncomfortable the seat is?

[JackyJoll]

[Rockburner]

Woah.

[slowsider]

You don't seem to have caught its best side

[Ditchfinder]

Maybe it's a 'stealth' sidecar - hence why it needs 4 indicators and 3 reflectors

[Ditchfinder]

Oh and Flexihose for the exhaust - genius now can all those beardy hipster builders with a million welds per pipe kindly do one

[Horse]

Underside?

[Count Steer]

Nice that the bike screen matches...that's a hideous lash-up too.

Lovin' the gaffer tape precision bodywork on the front too.
