interesting bikes found randomly..

[Mr. Dazzle]

Is that a Jaguar Straight 6?

Is that a Jaguar Straight 6?

I think so.

Not the most elegant thing I ever saw.

[KungFooBob]

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?

[Tricky]

That's my dream bike, in fact I posted it on another thread.

You obviously have no taste :p

They took the fairing off another bike and stuck it on this after a long lunch drinking sesh.

I reckon its the worst looking Bimota. a simple DB2 would do me, although the back end looks heavy from that angle. IRL they are lovely.

Agreed, DB2 is lovely , and none of the Suzuki or Kawasaki Bimotas are really great lookers IMO, and some (the early ones- SB2 and KB3 spring to mind ) are properly hideous

Putting the V-Due aside (I would still love an Evo) , It would be either a DB2, or , probably more likely , a DB7 for me, both gorgeous

[Mr. Dazzle]

Would deffo be a Tesi for me as first pick, but they're mad mad expensive.

'Sensible' choice would be a DB6.

I assume GP has seen this.

[G.P]

Yep, will be interesting to see what it goes for.

Going on fire would be the best out come.

From the ad: 'All the hard work has been done.' Leaving only the mind numbingly tedious work left.

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

None of what has been done is hard.

[Pirahna]

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.

That beautiful beast is the Johammer J1 electric bike. That's the future right there, feast your eyes ...

Claimed 200 mile range, motor in the rear hub.

[Mr. Dazzle]

I like the mirrors with integrated displays.

Also quite a bit of clever/different thinking.

Not mentioning the elephant in the room

Tassels on the bars, surely?

The white elephant, would that be?

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.

[Mr. Dazzle]

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

http://l-twins.blogspot.com/2011/05/saxon-triumph.html

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.
