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?

Krazy looking swinging arm. It'd be a bitch to clean.

I could go for that, but I like Bimotas.

What do you get if you cross a BMW R12 frame with a Harley WLC engine... and build it in Russia.

A PMZ-A-750.

I especially like the leaf spring front suspension.

I saw this. I thought it 'cheap', the KTM UK website is still listing the 23MY at £7999...

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/145552357066

Not that I want an orange hand grenade :P

EDIT:

I missed the bit on the KTM site saying there's a £1k manufacturers discount on the 23MY RRP, so it's only £500 cheaper!

I'm sure there's a similar picture of a lady stood next to an R series with tits by her knees.

Against my better judgement I went riding today owing to the forecast being pissing rain all day. It was the day of the SoCal Norton ride to my mates bike collection. The club pride themselves on never canceling a ride because of a forecast.
Well the pussies cancelled today's ride before they even set off at 10am. I rode 198miles on the ZX11 & didn't see a drop. Pulled into the RockStore & there was ONE bike sitting there... WTF? ( A Speed Cripple of some sort) He was about to ride over to Daniels so I followed him. Then had enough of his dawdling along at 80 on the freeway & opened the taps.

Saw this:

Today I counted his Kaws: 30, including 6 Z1's (& 2 KZ900's), 10 H2's & 4 H1's (& a '75 KH500)

Have we had this one before (it's a oldie from BikeExif)?

Ex-racer converted for road use, Krauser 4 valve heads and a Bakker frame, I like it.

PS. Does anyone else think the frame looks like an early FZR600 one?

I like that & I was thinking that for some reason,the seat unit especially reminded me of a 90's Yamaha.
