GSXR is easily the best out that lot

I still have a soft spot for the RD500.

That's a 350, it's got an 18" front wheel, and a grab rail, surely you recognize a bike you owned?

Oh yeah sun is too bright to see screen properly

I had to look twice, it was the front wheel that gave it away, the 1985 GSXR is obvious, then it's two RG500s, what could be either an RG400 or 500, then two RG400/500 rolling chassis, the fourth RG may have an engine in it. I enjoy a bike guessing game.

It'd be easier from the rear. Ooh err missus

I think it’s a lacklustre execution of a bad idea.

woah...

Is it me, or is the engine a long way back in the frame?

And the gearbox is a long way forward!

For me, the most exciting thing about these ?why-oh-why? well-executed lash ups of someone's perfect combination of engine and, er, frame - is the name they decide to give it.

In the case above, that has to be Nor-elli, or hopefully, a N-elli.

That's not a unit construction engine?? I did not know that!

I love the fact that any "rule" or convention is instantly ignored almost as soon as you can make them up...

The two most frequent combinations contradict each other completely.
Nor-Vin is frame-engine,
Tri-ton is engine-frame.
Tri-BSA could be either way around! (I'm sure I've seen both)

Stop being silly.

You're being kind with 'lacklustre'. But correct in your assessment; it is a bad idea. It looks wrong and it is wrong. One of the wrong-er 'specials' I've seen in fact. I bet it handles like a plate of vomit.

[Whysub]

Wonder if that would fit in the mondeo.

That is very cheap at £895. The similar (better?) Honda fetches over £4000

£4,500 for a similar Honda

I see no reason why this wouldn't do a good few more miles.
