Should be riding along behind you slowly- blipping the throttle with the clutch in with a spotty Inaka on board

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Every town has loads of wannabes so it’s difficult to tell-there is a crossover with the Yankee subculture although Bozozoku are meant to be a bush league for Yakuza but like a lot of things it’s quite opaque.
It’s a fashion as much as anything - mostly on 400’s with annoying ring ding exhausts
2 stokes command as strong a price in Japan as here so an LC is an unlikely steed of choice.
My wife is from the Boonies and Harleys are popular as are domestic cruisers .

I could go for that, but I like Bimotas.Tarmacsurfer wrote: ↑Mon Jan 08, 2024 10:09 am I like this kit for the Monster

I wonder if the kit will look as good as the pictures.
I also quite like to make a GP45 bike which is a similar concept.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
It's just an idea at the moment basically, reading the blurb. Need someone to front the cost of actually making the tools, anyone who can do that would just buy a real Bimota?

You can still get skin damage even if you're wearing a welding mask. FFS.

Yeah I saw that and had a spark of interest, I'm potentially interested in investing in businesses.....bit it quickly fizzled out.Mr. Dazzle wrote: ↑Mon Jan 08, 2024 10:26 am It's just an idea at the moment basically, reading the blurb.

I don't see people spending daft money on bike transformations in the next few years, sales of 'nice-to-have' stuff have collapsed, not everyone has realised that yet but they have.

What do you get if you cross a BMW R12 frame with a Harley WLC engine... and build it in Russia.
A PMZ-A-750.

I especially like the leaf spring front suspension.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
I was reading Stan Stephens book (for the umpteenth time) and he talks about his lads sprint bike, based on an RS125, tuned to feck by the man himself and weighing about 40kg!
No wonder he was British champion on it.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
I saw this. I thought it 'cheap', the KTM UK website is still listing the 23MY at £7999...
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/145552357066
Not that I want an orange hand grenade
EDIT:
I missed the bit on the KTM site saying there's a £1k manufacturers discount on the 23MY RRP, so it's only £500 cheaper!
