That gets a "wow" from me.
At first I was a bit puzzled by the strut behind the shock but I think I now see that its part of a redesigned rocking lever progressive suspension mechanism with threaded ride height adjuster. Its not just a pretty face then ... there's custom tech engineering in there too. I wonder what it weighs. I could almost own that ... but to my shame I would have to give it more of a rear mudguard. ![]() |

I can appreciate and admire all the hard work and skill that's gone into both of them.
But sorry, they both go too far towards Form over function for me. Considering the carbs are under the tank of the first one it can't hold more than a couple of litres. The second one does work better for me, but those wheels will ruin any handling it might have had. Nasher

They both look stunning but I wouldn't want to own them.

Nice to look at but not to ride, I think.

These two bikes are both impressive demonstrations of what can be built, the first silver one though really does stand head and shoulders above the other for me, the detailing is particularly good. It's hard to spot the wiring, the cut away for the exhaust in the under belly what ever is beautifully done, the brakes/forks look a bit Nortonish to me & converted to hydraulic opperation? In all stunning, BUT if I was going to invest so much thought/time/skill/money etc into a bike I would want it to do a hell of alot more than "look incredible". Hence I guess maybe why mine looks such a heap.
