Ooh. That has a rather purposeful air about it. Wouldn't want one but nice work. :thumbup:

Like it a lot apart from the overly truncated rear end, especially 136bhp & 175kgs 😯 but not so much the £115k price tag...

And looking at that, I don't want to see another. Another bike where it looks like the front forks have collapsed.

Probably because they have. That is ridiculous, by any yardstick. An exhaust header that's about 6 inches long before it hits the silencer? What a crock.

The ad claims it's got Honda GP 125 forks, but they look like R1/6 callipers.

EDIT: Hmm, no calliper mount on the other side, maybe they are 125 forks.

Need more info!!
Just popped up on the MT09 page. TBH it looks like they've just fitted a MX front mudguard and replaced the headlight with number board and of course added some trail tyres.
The handlebars look a bit higher than stock. I like it. :thumbup:

Can't decide if that's genius or lunacy. :D

On the one hand the skis look quite well designed/fitted - can't work out what the spring is supposed to be doing though. On the other, leaving the mudguards on seems a bit shortsighted. (Maybe that's more of a problem with cars when the wheel arch gets packed with snow/ice?).

I guessed that the skis pivoted and the springs provided a bit of support.

Husqvarna did one for the army that had sprung skis with footrests, so the rider held them down. Autobox engine traily bike.
