Saw one of these bloody things in town this week complete with handlebar end mounted mirrors (bike was nearly as wide as a car!).
Is it me, or does it really say 'form over function'. I don't think it even looked nice!
Deffo a use the parts from the old parts bin affair
Watched the owner ride it and it didn't look like it wanted to handle!

Spill the beans then Chris! What's it like for wheelies and what's that tired old dual spark air cooled engine like?!

The problem is,it's set up like a motocrosser,all the weight is over the front,when your sit on it and look over the handlbars there's zip,and to honest it's over the heads of yer average road bike numpty,every bugger who rides e'm goes bananas and then bin it,you know the bird who presents the BSB on ITV the ex gladiator even shes crashed one.
As for the motor,it's as crisp as a new pin and thats the problem,rev it up feed the clutch in, and a light switch in riders heads seems to go on or off depending your point of view,and no i didn't crash the one in the garage!!!
