Union Jack on a Japanese bike?



Quite.. the 'outlawed' rising sun might have worked better.


It isnt outlawed. The rising sun flag is the ensign of the Japanede navy still.

The Rising Sun Flag (旭日旗, Kyokujitsu-ki) is a Japanese flag that consists of a red disc and sixteen red rays emanating from the disc. Like the Japanese national flag, the Rising Sun Flag symbolizes the Sun. Naval Ensign of Japan.

Exactly. The swingarm is still allowed to swing up.


Unless he's welded the swingarm pivot up? Not that having done that would fill me with confidence...

I think he's left it hanging. Laughing

On the Japanese flag thing, the imperial Japanese flag on the tank would probably look great just because it's got that Warhol pop aesthetic. Although I'm told it's not PC these days, and in any case would come across as a bit tryhard, almost like a Confederate flag on a Harley. Some people do it in Japan though.

I don't see why they can't put a proper mudguard on it. That would fill a bit of that massive hole between the seat and tyre. Also a headlight would be nice.

Someone described a Ducati Diavel to them over the phone then they tried to copy it based on that.

How to kill yourself in 60 seconds.

A Honda construction site / commercial equipment engine bolted to a, well to a goodness knows what sort of frame. And check out the rear brake!

They make actual production mini-bikes not very dissimilar to that. Like this coleman one they sell in Walmart in the US.

GX160 is a lawnmower engine IIRC. I wouldn't think that was massively dangerous except for the comedic rear (only?) brake.

It will be very safe because those small engines use a little fan to govern engine rpm therefore power is limited.

Stunt pegs on the front wheel? Why did none of you spot that?
