That looks like the front wheel is a foot too far to the left. Apart from that, right larf.derek badger wrote: ↑Wed Sep 09, 2020 12:39 pm One for Julian...

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.derek badger wrote: ↑Wed Sep 09, 2020 12:39 pm One for Julian...

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

Guessing, it's so it's more upright for photography.
Even bland can be a type of character

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
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 !?

You'd be better off putting the Unitrak bodywork onto a Bandit, it'd be more work but the resulting bike would be better, or just having a Bandit and a Unitrak 1100 (though it can cost a fortune to rebuild a Z engine if you're mechanically incompetent)

Inazuma 1200 with EFE bodywork.

It's local to me, I'll look after it until you can sneak it into the garage, the wife won't know, all bikes look the same to women.Julian_Boolean wrote: ↑Mon Sep 14, 2020 8:52 pm Feck me KFB, are you trying to get me a divorce, I've already bought one bike this month, that's nice and it looks good value

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
If I showed it to my wife she'd say "But it, you've got the money" but I have to limit myself, otherwise it's going to get ridiculous , I've got one bike currently in the garden waiting for me to assemble a shed.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Mon Sep 14, 2020 8:56 pmIt's local to me, I'll look after it until you can sneak it into the garage, the wife won't know, all bikes look the same to women.Julian_Boolean wrote: ↑Mon Sep 14, 2020 8:52 pm Feck me KFB, are you trying to get me a divorce, I've already bought one bike this month, that's nice and it looks good value

It looks like an overstuffed Honda Benly and that front end has a permanently surprised look,like someone who has been goosed by a man with very large fingers.
