Very Impressive - especially the hand-bashed aluminium tank, cowl, and fairing.

Gorgeous machine. And look. Just reduce the performance of a street legal R6 a bit and you have a 60s GP bike!

I take back evrey bad thing I ever said about the French.

 

[The_AirHawk]

Liar! You're just saying that in case you ever get the chance to ride it!

;^D

 

[schizuki]

Hell, I'll say nice things about Jimmy Carter for a chance to ride that.



Like, "He's very clean" or something like that.

I marvel at people who have the initiative, motovation and skill to do things like this. I can't imagine it.



"Hey, I need a triple motor that'll fit in this thing. Hmmmmm...got it! I'll just take a saw to an R6 motor and put it back together."



Whaaa?



Meanwhile, I'm bummed that one of my taillight bulbs fell into the lens and I have to take the assembly apart to fish it out.



(Gloat alert: It's in the upper 60s here and I just came back from a ride. Hey, I don't get to gloat much about the weather, okay?)

I'm an hour north of Philly. It hit 72 today. Weird.

I thought quartering the engine was most impressive...

That stuff is easy (but cool, nontheless). You ever attempt to hand-form a compound curve in a piece of sheetmetal, then copy it in a mirror-image form? I have, and failed dismally. Therefore, I have a LOT of admiration and respect for guys with Mad Metal Skilz.

;^p~

 

[BrowningBAR]

Liar. We know all you do is polish Harley chrome and comb your ponytail...

 

[The_AirHawk]

Combing is for the Beach. I use a Brush.

 

[The_AirHawk]

Hey! That was supposed to be MY weather -- you Give That Back!

 

[bk6a]

day in day out, presidio, texas is between 60-70 F...and located on one of the best sportbike roads in the country...so if anyone with a me gusta would like to take it for a ride...

 

[36284]

It's been down into the TWENTIES here in Norcal. You have hijacked our weather somehow, haven't you? Brisk letter from my lawyer to follow...

One of the French bike mags has a feature on this guy in the current issue. Apparently he's also made a replica Honda RC162 using the motor from a CBR250RR!

 

[49605]

an exact replica wouldn't sell in large numbers but a modern interpetation with better brakes, suspension, etc... I think Ducati's already proven that with the Sport Classics

 

[oldtim]

Beautiful bike and tremendous workmanship but it sort of begs the question (not in the logical sense) why not use a Triumph Triple?
