The ultimate custom bike, surely:
https://images.cdn.circlesix.co/image/1/700/0/uploads/articles/john-britten-568ff85a7b97f.jpg

Built at home from scratch!

Alternatively, if you don't have the skills, but do have the money order a Vyrus.

Personally I'd quite like a H2 triple in a frame without a hinge in the middle and some brakes!

Nope, crankcases made of chocolate. I won't go near another one.

How about a Spondon framed GSXR (oil cooled) engined machine? Quite a lot were made and housed much of the Suzuki's running gear, I could just never afford one. (Cue frantic ebaying.....)
Or a Huoniao hn125 with a 200cc big bore matched to a turbo....

Looks like their concept was to crash "streetfighter" an HR2.

Presumably that would be be down-geared to the point where you might as well pull away in 3rd, on one wheel?

Sorry! My last one you may have read about in my "biking life" thread, and even my first one had a bit of a dodgy gear change, although I never stripped that one to find out what the problem was, as it was mostly ok. But I wonder how it would have been with more use than it got.

There is a solution though. Well, was. In the Dec. 2014 issue of Practical Sportsbikes, there was a custom modded one featured where the chap had got hold of a set of "Dutch-built EX-Billet crankcases, which also swap the H2's standard five-speed gearbox for a new six-speeder. Not only is it strong enough to deal with up to 150bhp at the rear wheel ( Shocked on an H2?!), it also gives a much improved gearshift quality."

Sounds feckin expensive to me, but then, since you'll need about 10 gee-gees to throw on a decent condition base bike in the first place...

I like the idea of a Cagiva mito with a 350lc engine, so something along those lines or maybe nc30 with ns400 engine, that'd be interesting. Would an rg500 engine fit a mito / 748 chassis ???

A mint 1984 CM125 (oem but for a disc brake conversion) because I had one when I was 17.
Mine was far from mint. Laughing

As much as the YPVS engine has its merits and it's place, I've never seen it as being in a Mito.

A wide fat old heavy lump of a twin that comparatively doesn't rev for shit or make 250cc V-twins look silly, nope I'd not want an in line twin in a Mito personally. Same reason I'd not want an even fatter smokier old Suzuki square four in one either.

I'd put either a trials or Enduro 300cc two stroke single in one, or maybe a CRF250R lump in instead.

I was with you until that last paragraph - personally I'd go for 'revvy', so would be thinking a 250cc 2 stroke mx bike, rather than the globs-of-torque enduro or the high revving but linear 4 stroke.

You could suggest a KR1s engine... but then they do ok in the KR1S chassis, though wheel sizes aren't so nice.

And Honda pretty much did it anyway. They made a 150bhp VF1100 sabre which was indeed a v-max killer (and eater and spitter out of the bones afterwards).

Tuned KTM 690 engine. Trellis frame and swing-arm. Dymag wheels, Ohlins, Brakes off whatever.

80bhp and 120kg should be possible.

It may have been a V Max killer (I have never ridden one so can't say) but it was a pig ugly pile compared with the V Max. It just looked like one of Hondas bog standard bikes of that era without a fairing.
