Ebay 'WTF' bikes

[Nobby]

She's a beaut and no mistake.
I particularly like the ( obviously greatly performance-enhancing ) pipes , trick lightweight cylinder heads and super-sticky racer tyres!

That was a humorous 10 minutes reading during my Tier 4 Christmas isolation. Thanks. Have you got any more ?

The expansion chambers on the RD are Allspeeds, but not ones intended for an RD250, probably meant for an RD200 or 125, the proper ones never made RDs any faster, so these have got to knock a good 10mph off the top speed, a lot of money for not much bike

That front wheel looks like it'd foul the radiator the second someone sits on it.

[Mr. Dazzle]

I'm quite impressed by the shiny tyres TBF.

[Mr. Dazzle]

They must have been standing up the whole time if they did.

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

It's hideous, front end is YZF750 if anyone is interested
I'm trying to find a redeeming feature and not seeing any

[Mr. Dazzle]

Back end is VFR750. SSSA makes chain adjustment a piece of piss. There's another plus.

Only if the chain run is straight

Am surprised by that- going from your current stable, I thought it would be right up your alley, as it were

Forks look bent to me

There's certainly something wrong there, could be the YZF forks have a lot less offset, the forks are bent or it might not have any steering head bearings.

[Le_Fromage_Grande]

YZFs don't have very much offset, FZR1000s use similar geometry to FZ750s and have a lot more offset and longer forks.

The rear wheel is a 7 spoke 5.5" which means you can fit a 180 rear tyre. Most VFR wheels are only 5", the 7 spokes are quite rare and go for decent money

[Mr. Dazzle]

7 spokes you say.

[KungFooBob]

7 and 1 spokes.

[Mr. Dazzle]

7 and overspoke.

Jaysus, did that tail unit land on the bike from orbit or was the photo taken with a borken fisheye lens?
