Love the looks but wouldn't want to have to stop for gas every 10k

Have a look where the fuel cap is mate. My gues would be the tank itself is under the seat.

EDIT< dammit sAsLEX beat me to it.

First pic blue one has a white bucket tlooking thing under the seat.

i guess that means you like it eh

Yeah guys, check the web link in my previous post, answers all those questions. Petrol tank under the seat to help lower the CoG, design brief or idea was based on the Shelby Corbas, hence the paint schemes. They've taken orders already, looks like some will make their way to Oz. Pretty cool for something a little different, don't like the twin exhaust - race one looks great.

This is one seriously beautiful motorcycle. Definitely now on top of my "first buy after lotto win" list.

Nice sound too. Video at http://www.engmore.com

I wonder how it sounds? The intakes is very close to your face and you are going to get all of the induction noise...

Yep Imagin a backfire through the intakes fried bellie leather

is that thing in the tank a supercharger? or just a buzzy looking air intake?

Errr no superchargers are driven by a belt and they are facing the wrong way for ram air

Stevo's been at the wacky backy again :P

**inlinefour** · 28th July 2006, 12:45

I'd definitely have one. However that exhaust on the red bike is crap and needs one like on the blue bike.

That's a hypercharger. They are normally strapped to the air intake on the side of the engine. The butterflys are coupled to the carbs vacum system.
