Holy Fark. That's some kind of wayward thinking.
If that's the original G5 frame,it got out of shape at 60mph.

They got out of shape standing still!

Re: Ebay 'WTF' bikes
That paint job is horrific. The price of the bike was good, but you'd need to factor in the price of a full respray to factory colours, and get the wheels powdercoated, so it will probably cost nearer 3 times the asking price.
There is no cloud, just somebody else's computer.

I'd ride that VFR as is safe in the knowledge I'd ride it whenever as I couldn't ruin it and could leave leave it wherever as no one was gonna nick it. Perfect for 400 E

Re: Ebay 'WTF' bikes
Another one from DungDeal -
It is, apparently, a 1957 BSA A7 with a Kawasaki 550 engine. And forks, by the look of it.
Only €1,850.

Hadn't seen him for a while but didn't know he'd been made into some tyres! Not sure how grippy they'd be but I'm sure they'll be reet.KungFooBob wrote: Thu Aug 18, 2022 10:53 pm Not only has it got a fuck ton of stick on carbon fibre... it's got Guy Martin tyres!

Re: Ebay 'WTF' bikes
Guy Martin tyres are the fastest possible but only in obscure situations nobody else has bothered with for fifty years.
