https://i.ebayimg.com/12/!BTP4P)wBWk~$(KGrHgoH-EYEjlLl2qfnBKH,Vi6UzQ~~_1.JPG

and after 5 mins figureing out which bits are from where... i have to admit i quite like it, but not sure why they used a gsxf 600 engine, i think it needs a overtuned gsxr1100 engine imho Laughing

I kinda like it, but I can't help thinking how insanely hard it'd be to handle.

Nice

Do you think it was built by an Aprilia fan?

Looks cool but I'd wager that it'll be an utter deathtrap, calling those brakes (or lack of) a performance upgrade is probably stretching the boundaries of truth Smile

Either they're mechanical geniuses, or ten-thumbed morons. There's only one sodding brake disc! WTF?

Don't get me wrong: I think it looks awesome, as I said before, and I like the attempted rip-off of BMW's telelever suspension thing (I think that's what it's called).

One brake, though? Unless it has hidden spikes that it fires into the ground as you try to stop it, the rider is going to die. Spectacularly.

:edit: I want that Aprilia Ram, in matt black, with HID lights. Give it some slightly sharper edges, and you've got the most terrifying looking bike I've ever seen.

fnar fnar.

Maybe the rear brake is an optional extra.

looks cool but would be so uncomfortable and looks like it would suck at handling.
But for 2.7K isnt too bad for some thing very unique.
