Thanks Mitch. Looks beautifully put together and that exhaust is a work of art. The seat incorporating a tail light is clever too. As a whole I don't like it - it doesn't work. Looks out of balance without at least some rear bodywork and the headlight nacelle is 'orrible

Also I'm left wondering why they did a photo session while in the middle of an engine service? If it's just a piece of art to put on a plinth - ok, but if it's a bike for riding, no belt covers is just daft.

Ooh, it's right on the tip of me memory, but I can't quite place it. Involved a pushbike didn't it? Go on, put me out of my misery

I saw this on Pelican and thought it was too pretty not to share - got to be one of the best looking RNineT conversions out there (IMHO):

Might not be terribly practical, or legal, but I likee!

Saw this a few weeks ago on one o the "cafe racer" sites. I really like the look of it. Not a fan of fairings, but this one I really like. It's low and not only does it look the biz, but you'd still get the wind on your chest.

Practicality. Well it's not a winter hack is it, but I would imagine it'd be great fun. Wouldn't mind hearing it! Bars/pegs/seat ergonomics look like a modern sportsbike. So you'd need to be doing 80+
