Looks likes a fairly stock R60/2, but with the addition of some nicer period panniers.

One of the local lads has this up and running,but still sorting out the details. I thought it was a nice job.

He's done a better job than I could,but from that angle,the bars look to high,in fact all of the cockpit & headlight looks a little to high,but that's just me.

That's one of them triples with the super air-cooled pistons. They're more likely to rust in the bore than seize through heat or lean mixture...

I've seen articles & heard them comment about it on the Highside Lowside podcast.It was made in the USA & powered by half a Chevy V8 car engine.
Amongst other things It cost to much.I don't know how many were sold but they closed the operation in 2018.

Back in the late 90's when it was originally in all the mags it had FZR400 heads and barrels. I distinctly remember it because I had an FZR400RR at the time.

Probably totally shagged out, or missing some important parts!

Anyone fancy a NOS RD500LC?
It's already at silly money for a bike that'll never move. I'd love to buy it and put miles on it just to stop them.
