Optimistic sellers

[sidecar bob]

Jeez listen to you old cunts, I know the CXs were about as stylish as a comb-over but hey, who knows, maybe their time has finally come, and this brave new hipster world is ready for a heavy underpowered bloated CX with a cool haircut!

And if it ends up half-baked and never finished who will mind?

How can you tell when theyre half baked & unfinished?

[WALRUS]

I know it's not a bike.. But this started life, apparently, as a perfectly good Supra, with a 2JZ...

Oh fuckin please, I've done more Kay's on shaft drive bikes with North South cranks than anything else.
What you speak of is either 100 percent imagined, or is a problem with chassis set up & it's convenient to blame the lay out.
Are you aware that the clutch & gearbox on a CX spin in the opposite direction to the crankshaft, in order to cancel out torque reaction & also your theory.

No idea mate. I've owned shaft drive bikes myself. I'm not blaming the layout.

Just saying - the last time I rode a CX I could not lean it against the spin - would NOT lean left. NEVER had the same problem on any other shaft drive bike .

Maybe it was a bad bike - who knows .. I just know what it felt like.

This isn't a bike either and although the price seems optimistic there'll be people who buy it just because they can. US $30,000?

It doubles up as a tradies painting platform.

An A1 FAIL, I must say

That would be a bonus as we could list it on page 1100 of this thread in the future and discuss how horrid it is

I dunno is it any different from the real thing?. I mean, wheel at every corner, looks pretty ridiculous. Yeah, that's about right.

Well since they're pretty much the most coveted 'tracker' ever, you're not being very charitable.

Never has a CX ever looked as cool as this.

Are you having a laugh mate?
Trackers are not good looking bikes. You're better off going full scrambler.

In the event someone was actually lusting after a cafe racer with sticky out cylinders this'd be more like it. But nah, it hasn't got any exhaust tape...

Cylinders are too bulky. It is a very nice looking bike (Ocean1 might not like the fairing or headlights, but I think they're gorgeous) but still prefer the CX.
And hey, in my defense I'm not a fan of the exhaust tape either.

It's time has come.
And I always finish my builds tyvm, and only half half-bake them. Like a mild 220C on fan bake for 45 minutes.

I'll remember to post pictures of my progress when the time comes so you can all laugh and ridicule me out of sheer jealously for having the coolest bike in NZ. :P

I think you'll do fine. Here on KB...

This guy, I look forward to seeing what you think you can do.

Just looks like a Supra, with the wrong lights and a DIY body kit

220C on fan bake for 45 minutes is well and truly baked in my experience

[neels]

Brown seat - check
Exhaust wrap - check

Actually one of the better looking efforts, and probably retrievable back to original if you ever wanted to bother for a CG110, but still don't think I'd pay that much for it....

Half-baked - The exhaust wrap hasn't crisped up.

Unfinished - No chain guard - or any guards - and no WOF.

Depends what you're cooking. I was thinking a whole hog.
