This is the coolest custom motorcycle I have seen this year - BTW its electric

Ok so poke fun at this.

This is something worth the time and money.

Erm, actually except the fuel tank mural. And shitting 25k pounds! But still, it's cool.

That's a fuck ton of coin to drop on a dribbling two stroke that won't beat on off the shelf (insert any modern thou here).

Nah - in fact I am pretty sure I fell asleep while that page was loading - that's how boring another race rep is.

And two stroke engines - I don't think I've seen a decent looking one since the mass of the Kawasaki and Suzuki triples of the 70's. Back in the day I had a horn for a GT380. My brother had a KH400 triple in 'root beer' brown.

I personally think the COSTIN ENGINEERING replicas a little nicer.. Even then, if I had the income and space to buy up 2smokes, I'd have my eyes firmly set on a Ronax 500 or a Suter MMX 500

Ahh yeah that was what I was looking for but got Corbin in my head for some reason.

No Drewpy, it won't beat a thou. But it will be 50kg lighter.

Hold on, you constantly question the validity of cruisers and customs based on them not being good at all kinds of things. What gives?
And 50kgs is prolly a stretch. Definitely if ya dedicate that off the shelf thou to the track to match the home built.

[F5 Dave]

You said off the shelf didn't you?

[Drew]

You said off the shelf didn't you?

Indeed.

To be clear, bikes that dont measure up are ok so long as you pick the bike. Should someone else like a bike that doesn't though, and they're foolish for enjoying an inferior product. Have I nailed the pertinent facts there?

[F5 Dave]

No, you seem to be on some Tangent.

[WALRUS]

Eh, I'd rather have something that makes me smile than the latest and greatest/fastest/most advanced. I think my current pairing of 18 year old Ducati and a tired Scooter show that quite well.

I can't think of a current "off the shelf" thou' which I actually want. They're all quicker and smarter than me, which really excites some people but it doesn't flick my switch.
