That is brilliant. I want it.

Irk the purists, irk the purists. Brilliantly incongruous.

Holy Fark. That's some kind of wayward thinking.

If that's the original G5 frame,it got out of shape at 60mph.

Not eBay and its the €400 for a rideable VFR that makes me “WTF!”

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.

Or rattle can it with stone chip.

Beige with weapon motifs.

Would suit boring psychopath.

Must be a Dr Who fan.

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

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.

WTAF?

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.

Guy Martin tyres are the fastest possible but only in obscure situations nobody else has bothered with for fifty years.
