Well im near grimsby and I think i Know who this belongs too, he used to run a classic motorbike shop across the road from our shop, He was part of the failed Martec frame company I belive, hence the frame. He does do a good job on the things he does build, he has a mint as new Fs1e too..... Drool

I'm sure the engineering is well up to scratch and I shouldn't criticise as I have something along similar lines in the pipeline but it doesn't do it for me.

I think the proportions are all wrong (especially the thickness of the frame), the routing of the exhaust is tortuous, the radiator sticks out too much and the headlights are an afterthought.

Apart from that, it's alright!

Would be interesting to turn it into a sports bike. Along the lines of a 916/996 and see what it feels like when ridden with the beam frame.

Probably wouldnt give that much of a different ride from the frame of the original tube design though.

After a really good look, I think it needs a fairing of some description.

I thought it was a VFR4/RVF frame at first glance - oops - sorry.

Not impressed with the statement "WILL REMOVE IF BIDS ARE NOT HIGH ENOUGH" - isnt that what a reserve or opening bid is for - Ebay

Yes, I could, but only if it was a 3000 Terrawatt vapourising laser
