Thats a very tidy rolla door.... Curious Don, what makes you think it's a "limited edition" ? Looks like a cb900 fc, In Australia, that model had 18 inch boomerang comstars....

I don't think the Bol D'Or decals were on the majority of 900f's sold here.

OK, they were all boldors here...

if you read the description, the bike is a normal american market cb900f, but the bodywork was sourced from europe in order to get that Europe market only paint scheme

Nope. I missed the fine print since I was looking at it on my iPhone.

Chris,

You are getting pretty damn good with that camera! I didn't know you were there. I was at the Lossa Engineering booth for a good chunk of the show.

Thanks Don...I'm trying. I got cocky and thought I had more...but I blew the focus on too many...that shallow depth-of-field is so easy to mess up...then I went home and #$%*ed up my S90 because I am stupid http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php/topic,160971.0.html

I wish I could have ridden there...but I just stopped by quickly on the way to Santa Barbara

SKTP · « **Reply #10131 on:** January 16, 2017, 10:21:30 AM »

So this popped up on Saturday on craigslist in Long Beach...I was going to try to see it Sunday...but it was already gone

The posting said it was a 1974 barn-find with around 6700 mils on it. They were asking $2000. I really wish I had seen it.

Probably worth it for the parts (snowflake wheels) alone. Someone would want that dustbin fairing, but you might have to ship it.

Jacwell superwedge fairing. I think..

MCRider · « **Reply #10134 on:** January 16, 2017, 01:27:19 PM »

semantics maybe, but to me dustbin fairings go below the front axle.

me too.....and this is a dustbin (your right Ron, well below the axle on a bike or sidecar. They were banned because they made bikes so unstable in cross winds.

754 · « **Reply #10136 on:** January 16, 2017, 04:30:35 PM »

Instead of getting one or two, why not get the whole set..

I wonder how they got that footage of me riding that bike? I thought we had the track closed that day!

timbo750 · « **Reply #10139 on:** February 07, 2017, 12:33:40 AM »

I want one but I wouldn't do it justice.

I love this model kit, but at $1169.00 its a bit too steep for my blood and wallet.

That is very cool. Spendy but definitely something I would buy if I had f#]* you money.

Speaking of that KTM, here is a 2016 a local is working on..and a few others.

Renderings but a Ducati 1299 Superleggera with 916 and Supermono bodywork.

One can dream . . .

Oldie but a goodie. Kawasaki Z1000 stripped naked.

BLAC · « **Reply #10147 on:** March 23, 2017, 04:43:24 PM »

I love the exhaust on that Kawasaki, looks like an afterthought and so random but it's so cool. I guess it looks organic vs perfect

The idea was to mimic the vintage Gary Nixon H2R race bike. The Bostrom Brothers designed the bike. Jay LaRossa fabricated the metal tank and bodywork, and had custom billet wheels made for it.

I saw a K0 in the flesh in Seal Beach on the weekend...it was perfect. Inspired me to paint my lower triple tree!
