A lot of work has gone into that bike,I love the rear indicators & some of the detailing.
I wouldn't want to own it though.

Top work, beautifully executed and probably totally impractical, but who cares? I like the centre stand and re-purposed horse saddle and the shaped aluminium and mock rivets. It's the sort of bike you could spend a long time checking out all the little detail touches.

I reckon you'd need a handlebar moustache and say things like 'wizard prang!' or more likely as it's German 'Gott und himmel, der Englander ist on my tail!' if you rode that.

Nice to have a theme though and nice detail etc. As mentioned, probably hugely impractical but it's a

[MingtheMerciless]

Bonkers, I like it.

[MrLongbeard]

Get rid of the bottom half of the fairing, get shot of the saddle, take a grinder to the stupid indicator stalks and it might be OK, for goodness sake could they not have frenched then into the seat pan instead

[Skub]

A Biggles bike.

[Bigjawa]

Oh Lordy, it's hideous and beautiful in equal measure....

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

It'd be better if it was corrugated

[G.P]

I like that and I'm sure it looks even more impressive in the flesh. that R18 motor is such an impressive thing that i kind of agree with the comment that the it should be more exposed.

[Buckaroo]

Biggles flies undone, or other old Biggles joke.

Anywho, it's something you could spend a lot of time looking at, but that's about it. Ride it? Don't think so.

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

I don't look at it and think "aircraft" it looks more like a battleship, but I'm not sure how you could make a motorbike look like an aircraft, supposedly the owner likes JU52s, in which case it should be all straight lines and corrugated.

The Suzuki Gag 50 with the US Navy paint do looked more like an aeroplane.

Citroen pulled off the JU52 look with the H van, sadly they all seem to be wanker coffee vans now

It's so mad, its good. I went from exclaiming "Hideous", to becoming quite intrigued! I don't get the saddle though? Seems at odds with the rest of it? Am I missing something obvious there?

Meh, I can't see Ginger and Algy and Bertie fitting on that saddle with me.
