Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
You always get interesting bike's over at the Classic TT meeting & this year was no exception.I posted those Lc's yesterday.For me,this was the most interesting bike on Douglas prom Sunday night.
It took me a couple of minute's to realise what I was looking at
The styling's not to my taste but judging by the curious onlookers it's 'interesting' alright

It's a SV650 with the motor turned 90 degrees & a shaft drive fitted.I don't know what chassis it sits in

The shaft drive is BMW (mid-90s period by the looks of it). Presumably running off the output shaft of the Suzuki gearbox.Bustaspoke wrote: ↑Fri Sep 01, 2023 12:19 pm It's a SV650 with the motor turned 90 degrees & a shaft drive fitted.I don't know what chassis it sits in
Chassis looks home-made.

Yeah, it's ANOTHER blingy Elsie, I was just tickled by the accessory bolted to the grab rail.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Maybe bikes are like jokes, if they're good the first time, they're not less good just because you've heard them before.
FWIW I think that 'power band' bike looks .

That headlight is gopping, and not just on that bike.
Bought to you very cheaply by that Great Bunch of Lads

The headlight is like something from the 1950s film War of the Worlds

The headlight? It's round, with lights in, mounted in the fairing.
