Wow. That is one extremely bizarre piece of kit. So, you actually have this thing? Is it, at all, possible to ride?

Not mine, mate. Was on the Two Wheels forum. I really don't know how well it could be ridden but I assume it is a runner...

Yup! You see that little pad directly behind the carbs...?


(Actually, considering the proximity of the intakes to the seat... make sure you're wearing suitable leathers...):confused:

Yeah - my thought too. :pinch: Shorts + a carb backfire could set off a bit of a scrub fire... Or burn the sausie :eek5:

...looking a little closer that little pad looks like it is the gas tank! Maybe a major fire!

Now looking at it on a bigger screen, I think you're right! Note the position of the filler cap...?:gob:

Haha, i've seen alot of uses for a 750 oil boiler but thats a new one...

hold on a sec, those engines had massive arse oil coolers bolted to em... Where is this ones? I see no oil cooler... it would be toasty...

Those items in the photos, would come under the heading...it seemed like a good idea at the time. Any body with big balls, wanting to test them, WONT FIT ON !!!

Classic!

The worst thing is that if I came across it I'd most likely ride it (well try to).

It was a common "upgrade" to the 1100 and 750 slabbies to put cable clutches on them, apparently it gives more "feel," personally ill just stick with the hydraulic

It does run and i think its actually a motor out of a Ferrari if i remember rightly. Stylings a bit boxy but lot of work gone into it.:niceone:
