i kinda like the simplicity of it.
i'd def. rock it, for the right price.

You know developing it would be a fun project. All the old school tuning skills would come into play. No aftermarket to rely on for bolt ons, you could try your hand at milling and fabrication.

Looks damn awesome.

Hope it's lightweight though.

I'd rock it but I'm not a fan of that type of engine and the cylinders sticking out to the sides.

BobTheBiker · 01-29-2010, 11:14 PM

it looks like it'd be a decent performer, being a 3 cyl I can only imagine the cylinders set up in a W configuration of sorts.

it doesnt look very sporty though. dont expect it to outperform any ninja.

W you say? I have always wanted a radial. Suppose half a radial would be a start. No wouldnt out handle the Baby Ninja, 'specially on spokes but it does look fun!

You're pic be photochopped or a different version. (I like your pic better)

looks like Moto Guzzi and Buell had a red headed step child

If it looked like the first pic, I'll put my deposit in now.

I doubt it though. Kinda tough to have a longitudinal engine AND a chain drive.

The rangerscott's pic is more likely. It is an inline triple and the engine looks decidedly Chinese (read:cheap).

It's still a good looking bike, but I'll stick with Triumph for my modern day triples.

P.S. Where is the tail light?
