Looks like all the extra weight makes the front tyre flat

Not sure if we've seen this one before or not....

Friends of my wife have one at the top of their stairs





It will be moving as soon as the new extended garage block is built

Just wrong on so many levels...

[Bustaspoke]

That's a proper WTF
However this line in the article sounds interesting;The total weight of the bike, depending on specification, can be as low as 160 kg (352 lb), so this thing will go like a bat out of hell.

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

Well it's interesting, Messcherscmit BF109s had upside down Daimler Benz engines to get the crank in the right place to drive the propeller and have the barrel of a 20mm cannon running through the crank and prop, so upside down engines work, but I think having the crank so high in the bike is going to make it handle weird.

I suppose it depends what they’re purist about.

The Yoshimura and Showa stickers spoil it.

A French Bōsōzoku fan?

I like the look of the expansion chambers, very smooth.

Should be riding along behind you slowly- blipping the throttle with the clutch in with a spotty Inaka on board

IIRC you've Japanese connections, have you seen Bōsōzoku in real life?

[asmethurst99]

Every town has loads of wannabes so it’s difficult to tell-there is a crossover with the Yankee subculture although Bozozoku are meant to be a bush league for Yakuza but like a lot of things it’s quite opaque.
It’s a fashion as much as anything - mostly on 400’s with annoying ring ding exhausts
2 stokes command as strong a price in Japan as here so an LC is an unlikely steed of choice.
My wife is from the Boonies and Harleys are popular as are domestic cruisers .

Hurrhurr!

I could go for that, but I like Bimotas.

[Mr. Dazzle]

It's just an idea at the moment basically, reading the blurb. Need someone to front the cost of actually making the tools, anyone who can do that would just buy a real Bimota?

[mangocrazy]

Personally I found this equally interesting...
