No more ridiculous than the things they make on that American Chopper show. :rolleyes:
sorry to be a wowser but that photo was on this forum about 3+ years ago ...Tonto
probably where I got it in the first place.
My memory is slipping, sorry what was the question again??????
Frame probably has as much torsional rigidity as an old honda CB750/4.......(cringes at the memories)
Ooh the memories... The only thing more flexible than my CB750 F2 was my Suzuki GS1000S. Talk about banana boats...Quote:

I had the F1 with a similar rubber frame. That big 4 into 1 exhaust made cornering to the right a pain when it scraped. I got used to the feel og fame flex after a while. The worst I ever experienced was a Kwaka 500 triple. Frame was so bad you had to change line in a corner 4 or 5 times and when it hit the powerband the front wheel was never on the ground.
Just goes to show that good wood still has a place in modern motoring. :D
Who wants modern when you could have this.....
Anybody want to give me one?
From the size (or lack thereof) of that front drum (!) brake, I hope it's not fast :D :D
Yep, had a Kawa z1000 (early one) yonks ago that was just like that :oQuote:

what was it 150mph? twin leaders on the front brakes, yep they are fast even by todays standards:cool:
Irving Vincent here in Melbourne is producing new Vincents if you have a lazy $100,000 plus spare. Nice bike with the Vincent reproduction motor........
