    Adrian has the pedigree to have done this right, and the people around him to have his back too, it'll work well, discreet too for a custom mod.

    Yes, its a factory mono frame, it certainly will work well.
    I'm not sure why he got it certed, that & the brembo front end are factory parts on that frame.

    Was he the guy that had that badass CB750 Dresda special? That was beautifully done.

    Does it really need the sidestand? Seems a bit redundant.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Harley XLCR 1000

    I think if I rode it I might be somewhat disappointed. And since my abject failure with my Lotto-based retirement plan at the weekend, I can't buy it just to have it.

    I agree, i have always liked those, maybe one with a 5 Evo engine with some decent mods or an XR1000 engine.
    it would still not steer or brake though.

    I always used to love the look of the Last GPZ1100 but i doubt it would live up to expectations. Or be much better than a GSX1100 of the same period.

    Or negotiate a bumpy corner without wobbling, or get out of it's own way, or. .

    Or do the kb wave
    They are kind of odd, they have to have a rising throttle to turn much like a Old Triumph.
    You can't slam it in then wack open the throttle, as they dont seem to turn without the throttle, not sure if its a postpone of the barge like geometry is poor weight distribution.
    Maybe they have that much slop in the chassis they need the slack taken up.
    Or Why thats why they put on those Gorilla handlebars?
    potato potato.
    BSA and Nortons pitch in and turn without drama.

    Blackadder has one of those engines - with better cams and heads. In a light(er) bike with better handling.

    Honda CX650 Turbo.

    I know, I know. There's no accounting for taste but I remember these when I was growing up and they were just so futuristic.
