interesting bikes found randomly..

[G.P]

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

Going on fire would be the best out come.

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

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

None of what has been done is hard.

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

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?

That will be a chain drive or reduction set up, no third wheel.

Claimed 200 mile range, motor in the rear hub.

I like the mirrors with integrated displays.

Also quite a bit of clever/different thinking.

Not mentioning the elephant in the room

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.

[KungFooBob]

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!!!

[Druid]

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

[KungFooBob]

Single offset headlamp is endurance racer chic!

The original 929 lamp was even uglier, imho.

A lot of bike for relatively little money.

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.
