It's the R 18 Future Cafe, I've seen it on here before.

I can't find a picture of anyone actually sat on it. The footpeg/seat ratio looks to put your knees where to massive cylinders are.

Also when you look at it from another angle the intakes would splay your legs out too.

'Loads of work'?

And £1450 for 'quick sale'??

Best thing to do with this (were I not so environmentally conscious) would be to push it off the Red Funnel Line in the middle of the crossing back to the mainland!
