Motorcycle and Scooter appreciation

Hmmm...Dad has a Street Triple so perhaps a Spped or Street may be the answer

Thank fuck it hasn't got the cement mixer diesel engine ;)

Speed triple....

27 is a good age to try for your bike test.

Just bought a Knight Flat Track frame....custom, nickel -plated chromoly loveliness. Dead cool. Currently set up for a Rotax donk but I'd like to stick a late 70s YZ250 lump in there instead. This one is Ex 250GP and WSB Champ John Kocinski's - it's got a 250 honda instead but you get the idea....

Would ride

^ Ooh, that looks more me than a Harley!

Any more or less reliable!?

here's my 2014 Striple - farking love it

YES.

You haven't got enough half built 2 stroke 250 race bikes littering your house already?

One of these would be nice, but I am not brave enough to buy 1970s Italian metal. I learned my lesson with the Vespa, and there's barely anything to go wrong on one of them! And I've kind of got over my clip-ons phase and want a nice sit-up machine. So if I do buy one, the new one is what I shall buy.

Want

Haha -nah, they're pretty much all working now. My old race bike still needs doing , but the parts are SO INCREDIBLY EXPENSIVE and tough to find that it might never happen. This one (hopefully) shouldn't take long to get to fruition. Provided I can find the right engine. And aircooled, dirtbikes seem to have become a thing in the last year so that might be trickier than I thought....doh!

This.

R9T is lovely. £££££ though.

@Soul cheaper than this...

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Engine frame and tank from the 70's and the suspension, wheels and brakes from a later bike. Job Jobbed.

I know the stelvio had head/valve issues and there was an issue with the oil filters on some of the 1000. But they are fucking awesome.

Paralever?

I have eyes only for this

@Jung Do you have any information?

Now just posting some random porn

what is that? looks like a ducati with dazzle paint job?
whatever it is I like?

Ducati 1200cc… I like it too, but I prefer $75,000 in my pockets.

Apart not being sure how much of that 1200cc would I deliver on the ground…

Loving that someone had the wallet and balls to do this.

Desmosedici RR with paint by DeathSprayCustom

demoing the Daytona 675R this Saturday, anyone ridden one?

We should distinguish between balls and skills.

You need both for motorbikes, and I see a lots of balls around, you can tell from how they start from a traffic light and how they accelerate on the city roads.

But I'm afraid much less skilled ones, how I can tell?
Because I can read the geography on the surface of the tyres, how much cornering and how much weight has been delivered on it.

Then what it is a real sporty motorbike and the real specs of it would be a bit too long for now.

£60,000 worth of supabike!

Plus whatevs they paid for DSC custom which I reckon would be close to £5k +
