Don't know if anybody's posted this already as 388 pages are a lot to sift through, but this is the main inspiration for my 350f project.

Give the girl something to lean on!?  ;D
I think that's about it.
No matter how hard I look at this bike I just can't draw any inspiration from it  :(
Am I missing something?  ???
It's cheaper to learn from someone else's experience but first you have to learn to tell the difference between a fact and a Furphy.

There is nothing inspiring about that THING or the model.  Pure fugliness.

I like it. Looks like a leaf spring under the motor? Just a cool dissection of a bike. Reminds me of a praying mantis and a train.

I have to agree, the builder tried too hard to be different on this one, IMO.

Also looks like the fugly model is holding her prosthetic leg (exhaust) ...

2012/11/25 MAX10 Rode Racing in Tsukuba circuit BMW R80

Cool bikes, without a doubt, but that circuit is crazy dangerous.  No run-off areas to speak of on the turns!!   :o  You bin it on a turn, and you could be in for a world of hurt against one of those metal fences or the concrete!!

I have to admit, I have been having secret relations with a bigger itallian girl as well as a german lady. I am ashamed to have left my japanese love alone for too long but ever since our roll in the dirt I just cant look at her the same way.

I'm not arguing, it's run-off challenged all right, a lot of older tracks are. There is airfence in front of hay bails in most corners that matter though.
