It's not got a pod air filter, so that's one good thing. The challenge is to find another.

With a VFR rear end for some reason. Or is it Ducati?

FIle under 'why TF not?'.

EDIT: VFR innit, Ducatis have one BFO nut while Honda used the car style 4 studs.

I saw that one at the NEC Bike Show in 2019... the RE stand was full of custom bikes, I think it was a competition or something.

I see that the tank is held down by a 'repurposed parachute strap'. Hit something head-on and the catch on the strap will repurpose your gonads.

Does the swing arm really need to be that long? I like it, maybe because I don't have gonads to worry about.

If I were built the other way, I wouldn't want to expose my undercarriage to it either!

Believe that RE's R&D team bolted the turbo from a Citroen C3 to a 500 Bullett with good effect.

50 bhp. Up there now with a mighty Honda CB 500 commuter bike... Wow..!

On a standard Himalayan, without that swing arm, 50bhp would be great for motorway and A road riding

Or you could buy a CB500, though it's not very hipster

Gets filed in the "just because you can, doesn't mean you should" folder.

It would also be shite on the gravel tracks i ride my Himalayan on. Tried riding the Street Triple on some of them, but had to turn back. Tracks like this. Sometimes less power is more
