Now that's a 2-stroke bike!

This bike is simply amazing. One of the nicest engineered bikes I have ever seen. You can see more details here:

I've seen a Bimota with that front end once at a charity ride. Pretty trick piece!

Yea, I have actually seen a Bimota with the forkless front end at Bear Mtn, but this is all custome made, not off the shelf stuff.

It was probably the same bike then. I have only seen one. And yeah, this was definitely custom. I'd love to see some onboard stuff!

Aprilia headlights??

Weird. Neat, but weird

:sport12:Great piece of engineering , but sorry not for me ,,
Love the rear end though ,, just think of would look nicer with a set of usd forks ..

This is more to my taste Not just the paint!

WooWHoo

I WANT one . .. . .. ?! My back tightens up just slobbering over it . . . .:cry:

There's was a very similar one built in Australia a while back. I had posted about it also. Was a little nicer, but the idea was the same

I saw this bike in person. While I can appreciate the engineering, I don't care for it at all.

I raise my hat for the effort he put into it. But that was a great way to ruined a perfect kick a$$ vintage bike.

What could possibly be more vintage than a classic Yamaha sports bike paired with quirky Bimota-style engineering and looks? That was a classic pairing all through the 80s and 90s

I don't dig the modern sportbike headlights (R6?), though

 

[NJFZ1]

I don't have a problem with the front suspension, but like others I am not crazy about the headlights either. However, I can see why he went that route...even if you don't like them they stand out. And from the side they just seem to "float" out in front of the bike.

This is what it looked like when I saw it at "The Junction".

I am with you on that. Not my style. I think it is ugly.

Meh... I'd let it eat crackers in bed.

Unnecessarily complicated and less road feedback. That type of engineering reduces diving and the change of geometry under hard braking, but traditional fork technology is so advanced now that you don't need an oddball set up.
