Ex-racer converted for road use, Krauser 4 valve heads and a Bakker frame, I like it.

PS. Does anyone else think the frame looks like an early FZR600 one?

To me the frame looks very reminiscent of a 1986-89 RC24 VFR750 - the one with conventional swingarm.





It also reminds me of the way Derek Chittenden built his Hejira frames, although his were nearly all box section steel, not ali.

Sensory overload.

Hmm. If it was the faired one, I might have bought it

I'm guessing that you haven't read the ad / looked beyond the first pic?

Looks trick. What BMW engine is it?

K100 (maybe a K1100, can't see the head).

Looks like a hard tail, so it'll be shit to ride.

I wondered about K1100 but it looks like they've mounted it upside down or summink.

Looking at the riding position I don't think comfort was a factor in the build.

It's a K75.

Ah. Makes sense, I thought it looked a bit short....there's a cylinder missing.

K1200 front end, Deffo a K75 engine, only three coils.

That'll learn me to translate it from German before saying owt

New Sci-fi series on Netflix called The Kitchen, set in a In a dystopian future London, where the proles are forced to ride Royal Enfields...

Things must have got bad if people are openly riding shit like that.

Anyone fancy bidding on a GSXR750 Skoal rep"?

Worryingly, I say nice.

I apologize for posting this hideous contraption...

So to make up for it...

Saw this in my local shop. Going by the reg plate it's nearly 20 years old. Perfect condition
