It is such a bad copy. The proportions are all wrong.

Chains on the wrong side too.

Ride a Yamaha V-twin and enjoy it. It’s probably better than a Vincent in many ways.

Make a rough and ready Vincent replica if you want, too.

But turning a Yamaha into something that looks like a squashed Vincent is not a worthwhile pursuit.

This is what you should do with a K100.

They were racing in the solo BEARS while I was passengering on a K100 BEARS outfit. Had a good look over them in the paddock and they're really smart IRL.

BSK sell some lovely parts for the k bikes.

Currently saving for one of their exhaust systems.

I’m rather impressed with how the k rides once I’d replaced the 34 year old rear shock, never had a bike so planted at speed.

Yeah this. IMO it's like the people who put a bodykit and Ferrari badges on a MR2!

I borrowed a K1100RS in the States some years ago. I was impressed at how stuck to the road it felt at speed... and even more impressed when I hit a fairly sizeable rock at speed mid-corner on a pass in the Rockies. The bike barely twitched.

My 1200RS is notably planted, I put it down to weighing almost half a ton when full of fuel with me on board.

Chain looks too tight and for that reason i'm out! Looks very nice really!

I thought Weeksy didn't like this last time someone posted a picture of it, I like it.

Is that Frankie Dettori's bike?
Ergos look dreadful

Subtle....

It's very... 'busy'.

Bellwood now owns a Kawasaki?

Isn't the chain co-axial with the sprocket?

Is that a trick question? Part of the chain is concentric with the sprocket.

Looks like the sprocket is not coaxial with the swing arm pivot though.

Excuse me Mr, was the sticker monster sick on your bike?

Another one I'd never heard of before outside the local supermarket

A new one for me too. China made apparently. They are supposed to have a 1200 in the pipeline.

Brixton 1200 – a 1200cc modern classic has been cleared to enter production as per a report on Bennetts. The modern classic will lock horns against the likes of the Triumph Bonneville T120 in the segment. Showcased as a concept at 2019 EICMA motorcycle show, the said model will be made in China. However, Brixton comes under the KSR Group from Austria that is responsible for importing motorcycles from multiple Chinese manufacturers. The design and engineering part for the Brixton 1200 has been taken care of at KSR’s design center that is located in Krups, Austria. The Brixton will most likely draw power from a 1200cc, parallel-twin engine that will put itself very much in the Bonneville T120 territory. In terms of aesthetics, the Brixton 1200 looks like a proper modern classic with an all-LED rounded headlamp upfront, wired wheels, all-black theme and touches of chrome just at the right places.

About the new 1200cc model, Brixton says that it “shows the way of Brixton Motorcycles into even higher capacity classes and proves the development competence of our brand.” As of now, the exact timeline for the production of Brixton 1200 isn’t clear and the company says that it wants to create a technically mature vehicle without time pressure, a vehicle that meets more than just the high-quality requirements in these cubic capacity classes.

Apart from showcasing the Brixton 1200, the company launched Crossfire 500 and Crossfire 500X last year. The two get power from a 486 cc, parallel-twin motor good for churning out 47 bhp of power. The said models entered production soon after they were showcased as concepts and the same can be expected from the Brixton 1200 as well. More details on the Brixton 1200 expected soon, so stay tuned for all the updates!
