What FFS is that about?

It's like seeing something labelled as a pork sausage to discover it's vegan!

If you read it, it's a modified RD400 tank... so they've not painted it like that, just used that tank :)

WTF would you do that for, they're an arse of a tank to get off and on and they're prone to rot.

Well, i don't work for him or with him.... so have no idea !
The story of this bike is:

All my past was with dirt bikes. I had several ones. Now in the latest years, after I had some “cafe racer” kind bikes, I thought that what gives me pleasure was to ride on tracks, sand and off-road. So I adapt a bonnie I had to became softer and light to ride on this kind of tracks.



I did not put the bike like our usual projects, for 3 reasons. One is because I can fell as many times has I want, without being worried about damaging something. The other is because I always wanted to have a bike with this look! And finally because it´s was made with old parts that I had in stock. It´s a war machine!

At least he's not pretentious.

It'd look better with a bigger tank, and XS tanks are pretty much worthless.
