Ebay 'WTF' bikes

[Lutin]

That chain needs adjusting.

And then the whole thing throwing in a skip.

This popped up on one of my FB groups, I wasn't sure if I should post it in the "Interesting bikes" thread or here

This made me say WTF, so...

It is more “WTF!” than interesting.

[Mr. Dazzle]

The suspension is less weird than the carbs IMO.

Set it on fire first. Just to make sure.

The front pushrod tube is visible the second photo.

And it does appear to be a Triumph engine with a BSA gearbox.

No, it’s a left foot gear change 750 Triumph engine/gearbox unit.

Loads of pointless shit stuck on it, like the tubes on top of the head and the extra points cover thing.

It's just popped up on my Friendface.

If you do FB and want more pics...



EDIT:

Ok the link doesn't work, I think you need to be a member of "sell or swap motor bikes and parts" group to see it.

It is indeed listed as a 1976 T140 750 Triumph... in Scotland.

£6k!!!

Just been looking through Ebay for a old XT600 to canibalise as I plan on rebuilding my old XT again.
This came up WTF indeed!
Not sure it's the right bike to convert into a Cafe racer.

Have a look on Ebay for more details...

You just know that the owner of that has seen too many Honda Dominator cafe racers!

Just been having a look on Farcebook marketplace for a SV650 & this turned up
Not sure what Mr Honda would make of it,but it's definitely a WTF from me.

I had an RRW/X which is what that once was. The top bracing on the swing arm is stock, who knows why they felt it needed more bracing on the bottom.

When the seat unit is bigger than the tank, it never ends well...

A rigid braced swing arm makes the handling 100% better.

Twice as much bracing therefore makes the handling 200% better!

£2k for a non runner (probs battery & fuel by the advert wording) with 84k on the clock;

[JackyJoll]

You don’t get £2,000 for one that doesn’t work.

[KungFooBob]

Looks just like a Black Shadow!

[The Spin Doctor]

Aside from the ugly can, I quite like that

To be fair, it's actually nicely done (for an NTV), it's more the fact it's been done as a Vincent Homage that gets me.

[KungFooBob]

Not the bike, but the write up. WTF!

I want to think he's being funny, but I suspect he actually believes his RSV drops knickers.
