Re: Interceptor Project
That's the VASTLY superior 500cc single. Adding an extra cylinder just over complicates things

Re: Interceptor Project
Just in case you fancy hunting down KTM390s

In all seriousness though, with that exhaust etc, might be worth a couple of hours on the dyno with one of these- something you can twiddle with at home too.

That can often be more spendy than the likes of a PC,but more worthwhile in the pleasure stakes imo.Potter wrote: Wed Feb 24, 2021 2:29 pm
the only thing it really needs now is fancy suspension and tyres.

Re: Interceptor Project
Looking good but the seats too short or the rear frame wants cutting back to the seat

I'd strap a little bag on that bit of frame, put the butties in.

Re: Interceptor Project
That's a major league sandpit,right there.
Lovely bark from the pipes.

Re: Interceptor Project
Condenser mics,they compress the fook out of levels.Potter wrote: Sun Mar 07, 2021 12:12 pmIt actually has a much angrier sound than that, but the phone is a bit gash at recording sound, if you listen you can hear it deaden the sound, I tried to put the phone near the exhaust but it can't cope with it and just comes out muted.
I'll have to look for my Go-Pro and see if that's better.

Proper old twin engine sound that, from what I can tell through a phone mic anyway!

Aye, nothing at all wrong with thatPotter wrote: Mon Mar 08, 2021 9:25 amYeah I suppose, it’s a perception thing, I’ve made it my own and tailored it to what I want but because I don’t have much money tied up in it and it’s no frills it feels like an uncomplicated and undemanding way of just enjoying being on two wheels.

you've obviously never ridden a K series BMW - they have the weirdest handling in the world and you will be glad to hand it back.

Re: Interceptor Project
I've got a flying brick K series, I quite like it. The lack of feel from the front end only really shows up when you start really pushing on.
