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.

I'm guessing that you haven't read the ad / looked beyond the first pic?

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:
