There's good beer.

Then there's just beer.

Then there's bad beer.

And finally, there was Watney's Red Barrel.

I remember riding a CR500 and fighting to keep the front wheel down and the back wheel from spinning up and stepping out sideways and thinking HTF does anyone race this in mud! :wtf:

My Husky has 50 gee gees and weighs 105Kgs. But it's a big softy until you give it full noise. Then waaaaargh.

But it does have a softer engine map as well. For girls.

It's been for sale for a while and the pictures look horrendous, but he put a video of it up a few days ago and it looks a bit better - maybe because he videoed it using a potato and the quality is so bad you can't see it properly, but it does look better on video than in pictures.

I reckon it rides badly, someone has taken a lot of time to build that - and then quickly sell it on.

I thought to myself "the video can't make it look worse" but yeah it could !

I remember the EML Mx sidecar outfits using 980cc XS motors and destroying everything.
Engine has a lot of potential.
At £8.5k he's dreaming of course, but I've always had a soft spot for the old 650

It looks gash, the forks look a good couple of inches too short, among many other horrible bits, it's going to steer like a shopping trolley.

Me too and I agree, I too have a soft spot for them from my old man having had an XS2 back in the early 70s

Am not a fan of the one you linked to, but as non-standard ones go, I quite like this one

RATICATE RACING KTM 1190 XLSM

https://moto-station.com/moto-revue/act ... xxl/523268

You'll need your browsers translate function if you can't read Fronch.

Not sure about the front mudguard, but I like the idea of an 1190 Motard, it's just bonkers.

EDIT:

Oh it's on Bikexif too, from ages ago...
