... and on the subject of off-the-wall concepts, do you remember the loose cannon idea proposed here a while back to have a 125cc 4-stroke and 100cc 2-stroke VMX category? Seemed like a good idea to me but since it was proposed, I can't find a decent SL/XL 125cc thumpette for love nor money (well, perhaps more money that I've got).
Anyone remember if this idea was a goer?
:o

hmmm..no matter what angle I look at the ebay bikes from I just can't begin to like it...at all :-\ A big waste of a Beeza motor and I'd reckon the old RM with the extra weight thrown forward and up would be a bit of a handful. Maybe the owner is colour blind..I thought I was a little weird and each to their own I guess but that hybrid simply a waste in my eyes ;)
-
Couldn't agree more, D.
Just can't see the logic/sense in that combo.

If you reckon that RM Beeza is an atrocity, what do you reckon about this baby? WAs Frank Veradi's '82 Maico/B44 BSA.

mmmm..ditto to what I said above Firko, I can't begin to like any part of it..in all honesty I'd rather see that motor sitting on a shelf for the duration before I'd even consider stuffing it somewhere it doesn't belong. Would it be rude to say it almost makes me cranky? cause it kinda does ::) cranky old bugger I am obviously :-*
-
wow, mid 70s frame and suspension and outdated BSA engine, and if it had CCM on the tank we would all be gushing over the wonder of it all. ;D
his mistake was in the finishing, alloy tank and chrome frame and it would sell like hotcakes.

Another one, question is why ??? ???
Full marks for the exhaust though.

Unfortunately there won't be a repeat of that DR / IT pipe. I saw it under construction in the late Peter Worrall's garage in 2001.

If you've seen any of his pipes you will recognise the nice smooth cones and welds.
