That's a 350, it's got an 18" front wheel, and a grab rail, surely you recognize a bike you owned?Yorick wrote: Mon Jul 31, 2023 7:42 pmI still have a soft spot for the RD500.

sun is too bright to see screen properly 
I had to look twice, it was the front wheel that gave it away, the 1985 GSXR is obvious, then it's two RG500s, what could be either an RG400 or 500, then two RG400/500 rolling chassis, the fourth RG may have an engine in it. I enjoy a bike guessing game.Yorick wrote: Mon Jul 31, 2023 7:49 pmOh yeahLe_Fromage_Grande wrote: Mon Jul 31, 2023 7:43 pmThat's a 350, it's got an 18" front wheel, and a grab rail, surely you recognize a bike you owned?
It'd be easier from the rear.

Is it me, or is the engine a long way back in the frame?

In the case above, that has to be Nor-elli, or hopefully, a N-elli.
That's not a unit construction engine?? I did not know that!JackyJoll wrote: Tue Aug 01, 2023 11:10 amRockburner wrote: Tue Aug 01, 2023 11:07 amwoah...

And the gearbox is a long way forward!
I love the fact that any "rule" or convention is instantly ignored almost as soon as you can make them up...DefTrap wrote: Tue Aug 01, 2023 11:15 am For me, the most exciting thing about these ?why-oh-why? well-executed lash ups of someone's perfect combination of engine and, er, frame - is the name they decide to give it.

You're being kind with 'lacklustre'. But correct in your assessment; it is a bad idea. It looks wrong and it is wrong. One of the wrong-er 'specials' I've seen in fact. I bet it handles like a plate of vomit.
