Ooooohhh... nice.

I really want to build a thumper.  And one like that, with a Beeza DBD34GS powerplant, slung low in a modern frame.  Well, it just wakes me a little dizzy.

Now if only I could convince the wife to let me buy an ABSAF Goldstar or Molnar Manx motor......

Been thinking of doing the same thing with a XR650 Honda engine.... ;D

yeah.. thats another really awesome flattracker Rat400F.. i only wish they would have done a better final fit between the tank and seat.. perhaps a slightly bigger tank.. or add another inch or two of glass to the seat, fill the gap. the forged wheels a sick!!

 Ecosse.. a KRRR is a pretty rare bike.. 1st pi

 I think you guys wrote that wrong, think it should read;

 a real STINKY tracker is a 2 stroke.....

 BTW a 2 stroke twin did not beat the Harleys, on the big tracks...








. a 4 cylinder 2 stroke did..

 There was a stunning red TZ 750 Trackmaster at the Bonneville GP last year, as well as a stunning Trackmaster Triumph.

I usually don't care for most of the british bikes, but this Norton is the exception.  I like the way it sits.

Really cool how they used the front frame downtube as the oil resivoir.

Nice.  The top one has got my attention.  It's like an XR750, but probably won't set you back $50k and probably won't need to be rebuilt every other race.
Take care,
