AC Sanctuary's stuff is usually cool in a way that only the Japanese do, but that one I'm not getting. Too many angles.

There's loads to look at in those pics. Some time and money has been spent.

Nerd.
True, though it's not a bad idea as the early bottom end has a stronger cam chain rather than the later hyvo cam chain that the J engine has, and the Unitrak head is probably the best 2 valve per cylinder head ever made.

But if you really wanted power you'd use a GSX1100EFE engine (or just use something modern)

Stunning. Tank looks a bit small to me but stunning.

I like it A lot apart from a few details that are over-ponced up and the seat unit is ever so slightly too big compared to the tank.
I woldn't throw it out of my garage though :)

I reckon I could find a space for that in my daughters garage*.





Reading that back its sounds like a fucking weird euphemism, its not. I've moved my bikes over to her garage cos it's got less condensation than my metal shed.
