Revival Six

It's not a SOHC/4 but still just a cool thing! The time lapse at the end is awesome.

You seriously can't appreciate that bike? Do you understand the time and effort and engineering that went into it? How can you love motorcycles and not find that bike as something special?

That is one fuggly pos bike, the "ENGINEERS" should ask for their money back from whatever school they got their degree from. That rear suspension looks like a great way to castrate yourself. And why would you take something as simple as a foot shifter and convert it to that?

the time and effort would've been better taking a long overdue dump,its not a motorcycle its an abomination!the engineering is average and that's being nice!

I did like the break idea, but don't care for the looks of it or the crap they did to wards driveability.

It was commissioned for a museum. You know that right? It's not going to be a daily rider. They didn't have to even make it road worthy. They also stated that the cable operated steering is something you never want to do. Did you even listen?

Then don't comment if you can't even take the time to listen. It's a commissioned piece for a museum that has hand-built bikes. It's what the museum wanted them to make. Since you didn't take the time to listen I will save you the time. Maybe you should start.

 Like I said before, every body should build a custom bike before ripping into others work.
I don't like the bike per se, but I really dig the engineering and bringing it to fruition.
 Re the Enginnering comments, it was all done in house., by them, for them.
 Overall kudos to them for doing it, I love the sound, love that it rides OK.. one of the few CBX,s I sort of like..

 I know only one person I think that designed their own front end, and it worked well, and was tested at high speeds..
And we get folks on here .. that have designed what?. Slamming someone's work..
 It's a custom bike .. they didn't build it for you.... they didn't ask what you think.. get over it..

 We are so lucky that we live in North America, and can do stuff like this.. at least for now..

I'd agree with you frank and I'm not ripping, it just doesn't do anything for me.
Shouldn't we be inspired to ride it?

Thanks for sharing the video. Lotta "Get off my lawn" going on here  ;D
Personally I think it's a really cool idea and they did a great job taking it from design to reality. It's not something I would purchase or want but it's something interesting, different, and a great way to exhibit their build skills.

I shut it off halfway,i couldn't stand the drivel coming outta their gobs,conveyer systems and welding robots have more impressive engineering,ok it sounds great but they didn't make the #$%*en motor they killed a cbx for it,i wonder what Mr Britten would think of it?you can exhibit better build skills on a spiral staircase for #$%*s sake.

Didn't even listen. Unbelievable. But want to get on here and bash it. You are excused I guess. You obviously have no understanding of the processes that take place just the design the front hub. Ignorance is bliss. Too bad silence is a virtue.
