It's good, but loses points for it not being a turbo and no flip flops.

Probably doesn't work unless you have a Friendface account (can't find it on youtube)



Doesn't get much more interesting from an engineering point of view than that, imho.

I like that a lot, but not enough to spend £8K on it, it is nice and very interesting, but also a potential money pit.

𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑨𝑹𝑻 𝑶𝑭 𝑪𝑹𝑨𝑭𝑻𝑺𝑴𝑨𝑵𝑺𝑯𝑰𝑷

The NMOTO Nostalgia motorcycle is a one-of-a-kind endeavor to capture the ambition of the BMW R7. With the comfortable suspension and unique steering mechanisms encased in a canonical design inspired by the BMW R7 pre-war prototype, the Nostalgia motorcycle gives enthusiasts a slice of the past without sacrificing performance or rider experience.

Uh,,,ok then.

I seem to remember Kawasaki sold a Z1R TC through official dealers but explicitly stated there was no warranty

I'll probably get lynched now but I rather like that too - improves on the original, I think.

I do like the right way up forks, as well.
