Topic: Wow! SOHC House Rockers

[Melodious Rex]

I was browsing around trying to get ideas for a SOHC build when I found this on GooBike (Japan)

And another similar bike also built by House Rockers in Saitama (north Tokyo area)

I'm simply stunned at the beauty of this.  Yea, it's absurdly priced at over $40,000, but man, it's totally legal, totally ridable, and totally cool.  It's not like I'll be spending 40k on a bike, but what a cool model this is for a project. I could do something along the lines of it for around $4000. 

It's bored to 836, has a forged race cam and crank, large valves, Yoshimura carburetors, and has an aluminum gas tank, side cover, and oil tank.  Those stainless pipes are a work of art and cost over $2500.  Also: Lockheed calipers, Honda NSR 250 Magnesium Alloy front and rear wheels, carbon fiber fenders, etc.  The frame is stock although reinforced with additional braces and welds.

I've seen those pipes on another website before, they are crazy expen$$$ive.

There was a young kid on the list back in the days before this forum, who was doing that to his 750 with CBR600F3 parts. Wonder what became of that project?...


I like it, but it needs more black.
