“The Avinton Collector GT is handmade in France based off of the principals of the Shelby AC Cobra: small and lightweight, with lots of power.”

I like that

[KungFooBob]

It's like a slightly cooler version on the MT-01. I like it.

[ChrisW]

Lovely looking thing and a definite improvement on the bike it's based on.

[Count Steer]

Not sure about the asymmetry of the exhausts.

Overall, it's a bit 'Buell'. Whether that makes it thing of beauty depends on the eye of the observer.

The original had a cradle frame. I'd be interested to know how much stress the motor is under, slung under the new tubular frame. It also looks like a very long exhaust for the rear pot and a relatively short one for the front. Not sure how the air-cooling will hold up either, with those pipes wrapped around the front and sides of the engine, although the original did have the frame dropping down ahead of the motor.

Wouldn't like to ride it, but it sure looks purposeful!

If they wanted lightweight and powerful why did they use that engine?

I thought this was going to be a thread about the pub in 633 Squadron

[DefTrap]

Ive just noticed how horrible and ridiculous the exhausts are

Wasn't there a similar french hand made bike that used its own 1600cc + v twin? about 10 years or so ago but it looked very similar to that?

You don't have to put on the red light,

Carb icing shouldn't be a problem

[Noggin]

I have no idea why, but I bloody love that
