Member Contributer Dutchy Posted October 8, 2014 Member Contributer Share Posted October 8, 2014 One of these would have been a bit more "in theme" no? (it fell of a Daihatsu....) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

750 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 Personally, I think it's crap. The guy apparently spent about £10k getting it like that as well. Which for a subframe and café racer seat, a bit of paint, some jerry cans, some tyres and some lights from a mini metro is a ridiculous outlay. It was on Ebay for months at around £8k, it then dropped to £5k and it then went up for sale with someone else, meaning it likely sold for more like £2k. Each to their own, but without doubt, the biggest waste of money I've ever seen. *prepares for flaming* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keny Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Well if build from a good bike, yes, I agree whit you Johnlondon, but if built from a worn bike/damaged, why not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
750 Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 If I remember rightly, it was just his commuter. I just think it's obscene money to spend on a bike that (to us) is great but (in reality) is just a decent all rounder with a particularly strong engine.

Member Contributer Kingmdm Posted October 27, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted October 27, 2015 I like it. Honda, take note. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Rectaltronics Posted October 27, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted October 27, 2015 To each their own. Stark reminder that you'll rarely get back all the effort you put into your bike. As for the concept, it reminds me of how I got me and my 4th gen got towed out of a really rocky fire road using a buddy tow strap tied (footpeg to opposing footpeg) to my friend's Ducati Terra Mostro. Yeah, a Monster pulled almost 750 lbs worth of bike, me 'n gear a mile through dirt and rock. Awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squirrelman Posted October 28, 2015 Share Posted October 28, 2015 It's well built but not my cuppa. He missed an important trick: It's possible to route the rear brake line through the swingarm and eliminate the 2 dodgy support rods. Very common mod on NT650/Bros.

Member Contributer MaxSwell Posted October 28, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted October 28, 2015 HA! "They say a dog always looks like it’s owner.." V4 Africa Twin Quad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Kingmdm Posted October 29, 2015 Member Contributer Share Posted October 29, 2015 Everyone is right. Great concept, flaming waste of money, V4 African, etc. Similar in a way to what Yamaha was promoting with their Faster Sons builds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VFRpwr Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 Without those two white stripes on the tail it wouldn't have caught my eye - details are everything. - what a waste of an 8-spoke though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrianF Posted October 29, 2015 Share Posted October 29, 2015 I love it. As long as you build it for yourself rather than as an investment, good for him/her. Even better for the new owner who got it for 1/2 price. One of my all-time favorites: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
