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?
To me the frame looks very reminiscent of a 1986-89 RC24 VFR750 - the one with conventional swingarm.

It also reminds me of the way Derek Chittenden built his Hejira frames, although his were nearly all box section steel, not ali.

K100 (maybe a K1100, can't see the head).

Looks like a hard tail, so it'll be shit to ride.

I wondered about K1100 but it looks like they've mounted it upside down or summink. :hmmm:

Looking at the riding position I don't think comfort was a factor in the build. :lol:
