interesting bikes found randomly..

[KungFooBob]

If they gave is USD forks, an ali beam frame, maybe a four cylinder four stroke engine and a full fairing, then I'd be on that like a tramp on chip.

So a completely different bike, then?

Either that or they put some pink decals on it.

This is very nice. I'll even forgive the gold bling bars and damper,though I'd change them to black.

Very nice, but seat kills it.

What's wrong with the seat?

Back end is shit

Just needs a Suzuki badge

Not sure if seen this one before

Once is enough.

Nice trackday bike for someone here

Sadly there's not enough money down the back of the sofa for me to afford it

That would be a poor trackbike. Too expensive to crash.
On track I want to be in the situation where I don't give a shit if I bin it.

Same with my GasGas enduro bike. Binned it big-time third ride.

The CB1300 everyone wants is the one that nobody wanted when it was new.

The late model with the red frame... which I'd have over that one every day of the week.

[Mr. Dazzle]

My Dad had one of them from new, with the red frame. A lovely shade of red it was too.

Looks like a Subaru Boxer engine to me?

Why does it need a chain follower?? Is there something odd about the rear suspension? (can't really see it)

[v8-powered]

Not sure if I'm honest - maybe so it looks pretty?

[Mr. Dazzle]

Maybe they made the swingarm without checking the dims properly

It does look kind of like the chain needs the guide, to keep it off the swing arm.

CR500 pron.

I've long had a hankering for something like this but the reality is that they're a very focussed thing that wants to shake you to pieces and is hard to live with. Probably best suited to short circuit racing at somewhere like Three Sisters - IIRC when I was racing there around 1990 I'm sure the lap record was swapping and changing regularly between a bloke on a KX500 supermotard and another bloke on an RS125.

Looks like the last day before sleet and other nasty schitt blows in, A definite drop in temps back down to double figures today.

Not a five star anything in sight.

Must get pretty warm where you are!
