This is fairly simple and you don’t have to “join” anything.

That's slightly bonkers.

Wossat underneath?

Extended race sump?

I don't think the standard sump sticks out that far forwards.

Has it lost it's sidecar somewhere?!

Dunno, BMW R-series of some vintage? I like it though....

If you do an image search you can find a few articles about it.

It's got a K100RS engine, but K100RS engines don't have that sump... unless it's a Bate-BMW!

Oh the engine looks like an old air-head, but I was looking at the thing underneath the engine. KFB suggests sump but at first it looked like an add-on, aerodynamic something or other (maybe just because the colour doesn't match). Not seen/noticed anything like it before.

I like it too.

Would it be faster without? Not sure they'd be allowed to compete in their class without. (Not too sure of the rules in that particular branch of motorcycle sport).

For some reason I didn't use translate as I found it quite funny in French with all the emoji things like . They're quite cute the French at play.

When I followed the link there was the option to disiplay in English

JDM Suzuki Djebel is nothing new if you followed the Grey bike scene in the late 90's, but I've never seen one factory fitted with a GPS!
