It looks heaps better than the original, but no front mudguard and stupid tyres make it unrideable imo

I know Honda had a plant in Italy but I don't think they made C90's...

It would appear one too many people mistook the exhaust for the footpeg !

Does anyone else follow this guy on Friendface?

You could eat your diner off this Moto Martin, but the thing that really caught my attention... the brake and clutch reservoirs.

Now that's the kind of work that would be completely beyond these bearded hipster chappies. Making stuff that works as it should do and just looks right. And not a brown seat, empty triangle or wacky paint scheme in sight.

Suzook 1000K5 with 400bhp @ rear wheel. Apparently.

That'd need some electronics package.

That'll have a brown seat soon enough

That's the chavviest thing I've seen in a long while. Take a RH bend just a little too enthusiastically and your air filter is toast. And a stubby can, just to complete the set. What a PoS.

How about a bit of rain on the air filter ?

Yeah, that as well...

Stick on carbon wrapped forks are a nice touch though

Is it parked on a demo site for 'paving' options? They appear to have tarmac, resin bonded, paving slabs and gravel in about 15ft of frontage.

(The bike looks a bit like that too).

I think the 'tarmac' part is a mat.

Ha! beaten at the interwebz again.

I've always said an ashtray is more use on motorbike than a turbo or a blower...

400 hp? It would need something special as a rear tyre too!

400???

A real man is happy with half that

I'd never heard of this Japanese bike. A Marusho/Lilac.

Apparently went bust in 1962.

Familiar engine layout. I can't get a pic up,but you can see in the link below.

Restored version.

You made me look at the wiki page. They did a V-Twin like a Guzzi too!

Like an MZ/Guzzi lovechild.

I worked with a bloke in the 70s who mixed up his cylinders with engine type.

He reasoned,if a Honda CB750-4 was a fourstroke and a Yamaha 250 YDS7 twin was a two stroke,then the Kawasaki triples were 3 strokes.
