Its worth a bomb in parts though. The TT2 frames are £1600 for a fresh replica. The tank is probably fibre glass, Ally versions are aroun £600 if you can find one. Those wheels look like 17" Astralites and a Decent DS100 Aircooled motor is around a grand. The swing arm is std 900ss so worht very little front end can be binned, the seat unit is shite too

I thought this looked nice, it's got a 1320cc JAP motor.

That will be a chain drive or reduction set up, no third wheel.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Sun Dec 20, 2020 7:36 pm It looks like it's still got the gearbox (or something) attached, which makes it extra wide, I wonder if there's another hidden wheel?

I like the mirrors with integrated displays.
Also quite a bit of clever/different thinking.

I can remember posting on Vd or early TRC a Japanese styling exercise electric bike, which was FF style. So FFE, low battery pack & seating, good aerodynamics, etc.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Well that particular bike might be a bit "out there"...however electric bikes will allow greater freedom of design and packaging so I can see things incrementally moving away from conventional looks.
Honestly....if I were alot wealthier and in a position to buy bikes on a whim I would probably buy one. But them I'm a filthy pervert who likes side mount radiators and funny front ends.

Saxon Triumph 1000

There's some English if you scroll past all the Italian.
From the early to mid 90's and raced at the IoM, but I don't remember seeing it before.

Two for one tonight...

I like it in the grey, but why go to all that effort and leave the pillion peg mounts on the sub frame!!!

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
I thought it looked pretty good too. I dislike stubby exhaust cans but that's easily fixed.
Then I saw the front view. The fairing with a single offset lamp is just wrong - keep the original twin lamp layout, or put a single one in the centre

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Single offset headlamp is endurance racer chic!
The original 929 lamp was even uglier, imho.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
When the concept bike appeared everyone wanted one, a supercharged naked Hayabusa.
When it actually arrived, it was a detuned naked Hayabusa and no one wanted it.
