I'm impressed someone managed to make a Bandit engine look small.

I'm surprised it's that much shorter than a GPZ1100 engine, both are 3 shaft bottom ends with gear primary drive.

That looks like the front wheel is a foot too far to the left. Apart from that, right larf.

a mate had a Rickman S+S Kawasaki 1000 Turbo. His name was Rick. Rick with a silent P. We loved Rick. Rick was an absolute 2 legged idiot that should never have lived into his thirties. That bike and him were the perfect match.

Yet another custom bike that needs a block of wood under the side stand ???

Why go to all that effort and skip making the sidestand work?

I get that, but it's still not 'that' upright, to the point where it would look ridiculous when in it's on it's stand !?
