    It surprises me that someone would go to the time, trouble, and considerable expense of having someone build a custom bike then sell it immediately they take possession (I know I'm not really the one to point fingers in that regard....) but still. I suppose people do it with expensive Ducatis or Hardly Ablesons all the time. And maybe they get their custom bike then realise "Well dang it, I am still on a tarted up old thing and I miss my ABS and ESA and IMU" or whatever.

    This popped up on the TDM forum in the UK.

    GT 750 / TDM = TDR 750?

    It's a link to Facebook market place in the UK, so some may not wish, or be able, to view.

    Personally, I would like to see one with a Banshee motor.

    There have been several TDR with bigbore RZ engines. Banshees are nothing special. The aftermarket stuff that is made for them is.
    Don't you look at my accountant.
    He's the only one I've got.

    Yup, I've yet to see one in a TDM frame, though.

    The bike in my post looks a tad chunky for my aesthetic.

    What to do when you have the proportions all wrong?
    (Tank, seat, sidecover. None of it match, it's a styling disaster)

    I know! Paint it white.

    its like the front is either too hgh or the rear is to low
    if it started with a CBX750F (which assume it did) being a single shock he actually taken the only decent look part off it (the front guard, same as a VF750F)
    the Hump looks the correct height but wrong shape for the angular tank more a CB750 early four shape.
    There is an odd gap in front of the tank which might have been covered by the fairing.
    the CBX750F were not pretty but they were highly underrated sports bikes.


    if anyone has a CBX front guard or a VF750f one .......

    Yeah a mate had one new. Look ok with the fairing, but that tank needs it. Without(fairing) that 16" wheel looks lost. Just all the proportions are fucked, subframe showing, seat too short, just very badly done.

    That pic I have posted has them missing but the X came with faux bellmouths as std.


    looks like you can bolt in decent size wheels without mods
    CBR6 front and CBR9 rear

    This is the Moroiwaki racebike based on the CBX750F that nearly embarrassed Honda by beating the works V4's

    Wheels would be better retained in their original chassis to be fair.

    Moroiwaki one is 80s endurance porn though!

    Looking for four wheels to carry two dirt bikes. Found this. Thought the first comment was spot on.

    Not even a split screen

    Ooh nice. I applaud you
    And a noble quest. Dirtbikes are the pleasure of urban gods.


    I'm a hiace owner of circa 22 years. Best van on the road I say. But lately it has become expensive keeping it legal. I will prevail but I can't imagine being without it. Slept in it at race meetings and dirtbike events. Taken me to work 8km commute for over 2 decades. Going to the tip? Gotta move house? Mitre10? I can buy anything and it will likely fit.

    Consider a trailer maybe.
