A £60k supercharged Kwak!!
(That exhaust reminded me to put the bins out
).
The reviews are very positive in almost all departments apart from comfort and fuel economy - which won't be great concerns for buyers I wouldn't think - but it's a lot of money to chuck down the road on a track day

Tesis are always naff off expensive aren't they? Still my favourite bike though I reckon.

I like it - a lot. It's one of the best jobs I've seen I think. I'd be in the queue if the manufacturer built them like that.
More info here ( the builder is, unsurprisingly an F1 engineer. It weighs in at 160kg).

Even I quite like that. It has an air of purposeful simplicity about it.

I like the look, and especially the (lack of) weight. BMW/Honda/et al please note.

Maybe not that interesting but this was parked up next to me earlier on when I came back to the bike & I thought it was ace - learner bikes really do look properly good these days!

Looks fun
But not sure why they buggered about
swapping engines. They're fickle beasts anyway without all that tinkering.

He explains why in the text...
Not surprised he's selling it though, the idea sounds nice but it really wouldn't be much fun at all on the road IMO, something like a 17" 500EXC or 890R Duke is much better for SM-type road fun
