Yeah, that's cooler than cucumber ice-cream.

Seem to recall that being in PS magazine. Nice bike

I don't like it, you do have to wonder why start with an XJ750

[Druid]

It looks ok but not really my cup of tea

The engineering is excellent, I'm impressed

He already had the bike, his first bike, saw a pic of this:



and thought he'd build an "OEM" version of it. Its in the article..

Love it but should have a proper engine.

Engineering is top notch, but with the amount of mods he's made the donor bike could have been anything. And banging a turbo on an old air-cooled XJ900 lump looks like a recipe for detonation to me. 200 bhp, but for how long?

And I'm sorry, but it's still a fuck-ugly old XJ. Just because you can does not mean you should.

love it. fair play to the chap he has some skills

It has a proper engine, none of that liquid cooled witchcraft!
