It's interesting,that much is true.
I can't make up my mind if I like it or hate it. Needs flesh viewing for confirmation.

CUT TO FIT: RSD BUILD A HONDA MONKEY FOR WEE MAN
Honda Monkey built by RSD for Wee Man
Customization can be about aesthetics and performance, but it can also be about making a motorcycle fit its rider better. This wild Honda Monkey from Roland Sands Design rolls all three approaches into one, with a build list to rival bikes twice its size.
The Californian workshop built the Monkey for skateboarder, stunt performer and Jackass star Jason ‘Wee Man’ Acuña. Jason used to ride mini-motocrossers as a kid, but he wanted to get back on two wheels—and this time on the street. So he approached RSD to build a bike that would fit his frame.

“We are a non-denominational motorcycle company,” says shop boss, Roland Sands. “If it has two wheels and can be improved in the eyes of the owner and the RSD crew, it’s a project we are willing to take on. Jason wanted something that was geared for the pavement, and built especially for him both in function and aesthetic. Now Jason is not your average biker: he’s got a normal size torso with short legs and short arms.”

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
How about a lockdown restoration project? Would you hand over £3550 for this one?

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
I hope so too,but it's hard to imagine there's any money to be made on the finished article when you start off on square one for 3.5k.inewham wrote: ↑Thu Jan 21, 2021 3:17 pm It is a H1 it has the old style front caliper, KH's have the same type as Z650. Sadly 3K seems to be the going 'chancer's' rate for a rusty H1.
However it does have some plus points, a clutch cover that hasn't been smashed by the brake pedal, an original set of exhausts that don't look like they've been up the road, all the tin on the forks still seems to be there etc.
I wouldn't but someone will probably restore that.
I know a chap who has sunk over 10k into an old Suzuki GT550 and it's not finished. It better be a labour of love,because he's not getting much of that back again.

I can hear the purists scream from here!
I can't say I don't like that. (the bike,not the screams.)
