I wonder where the battery lives.

I'm sure there's a similar picture of a lady stood next to an R series with tits by her knees.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Against my better judgement I went riding today owing to the forecast being pissing rain all day. It was the day of the SoCal Norton ride to my mates bike collection. The club pride themselves on never canceling a ride because of a forecast.
Well the pussies cancelled today's ride before they even set off at 10am. I rode 198miles on the ZX11 & didn't see a drop. Pulled into the RockStore & there was ONE bike sitting there... WTF? ( A Speed Cripple of some sort) He was about to ride over to Daniels so I followed him. Then had enough of his dawdling along at 80 on the freeway & opened the taps.
Saw this:
Today I counted his Kaws: 30, including 6 Z1's (& 2 KZ900's), 10 H2's & 4 H1's (& a '75 KH500)

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Have we had this one before (it's a oldie from BikeExif)?
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?

I like that & I was thinking that for some reason,the seat unit especially reminded me of a 90's Yamaha.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Mon Jan 22, 2024 8:10 pm Have we had this one before (it's a oldie from BikeExif)?

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
To me the frame looks very reminiscent of a 1986-89 RC24 VFR750 - the one with conventional swingarm.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Mon Jan 22, 2024 8:10 pm Have we had this one before (it's a oldie from BikeExif)?

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

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.KungFooBob wrote: ↑Wed Jan 24, 2024 6:54 pm K100 (maybe a K1100, can't see the head).

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