worth the money for the sidestand alone, although clearly it needs a grown up to operate it.

That SV Supermoto design is cool as fuck.

compression is 5.5 to 1 so not so bad to kick.....

Same sidestand as my kids bmx. But I'd be more concerned if that fell on the floor. The bmx I mean. The Harley looks like several interfaces could only improve it..

Well here's a failure to really think it through

I kinda like it on first pass. The pipes are a stunning, if styling based, success of the look. The paint and the fact it is actually LVV apparently is aiding the cause.

But, jeez. You just can't get past the incongruity of the front vs the rear end. They are clearly from different eras and neither matches the middle. And as a shaft drive you can't fix it. Well, not in a shed.

Call me mean, but that sort of thing is going to grate on you. If he'd started with a TR1 chain drive could have enabled say spoked wheels both ends and right way up forks. That would have made this bike much more complete and stunning. . . If disabled with a mediocre engine, it could be enough.

He is the definition of an optimistic seller, the other guy did 65k's while this rooster is taking the piss at 165k's. It nearly up for a rebuild

Could do with a rainy weekend and 4 tubes of solvo to clean the engine up. Never seen that silver, but American market, so?

Makes a Harley look like a more attractive option. Almost. Jeez some poor sap is asking to see it!

Needs cleansing with fire.

At that stage Honda were locking in a epioc do or die battle for market domination with Yamaha
No excuses but there were so many ugly models from both then.
part of the appeal of a plastic maggot was its ugliness, but shit custom takes it to a new level.

The lengths some people go to in order to avoid buying underarm deodorant. The underarm dreadlocks would be a hit with the chicks though.

"All lights work", but does the headlight dip left or right?

Reserve is decidedly reasonable....but mostly amazed by the bars, the instruments, and the scale of that fairing.

[F5 Dave]

God!, that must be a Vetter windjammer or similar. But why are the bars rolled back like that. Fuckin odd! As an ex GS1100G owner (the unfaired version but with a screen fitted) that could only be a super weird position.

I hate people who call their wife 'Mum'. Jezuz fuck, how do you root them ? Oh Mum, oh Mum, I think I'm coming. Don't worry dear, mummy will wipe it up.

Just wrong on so many levels.

'Who's your Daddy??'

Erm, it's complicated ��.

whats differnt about peoples feet that the need pegs that size?

[pete376403]

All that plastic is a factory GK fairing, not a Vetter. I'ts huge and looks odd from the outside, but from behind, in the rain and cold, it's pretty good. I have ridden mine is pissing down rain on the West Coast in winter, and only got wet below my knees. Weighs a metric tonne as well, but frame mounted so doesn't affect steering too much. Looks a little better when the factory bags and topbox are installed. I have a complete GK in the shed, along with a standard G.
