Seems a bit pointless to put the expansion chamber above the engine, and then shove that awful belly pan on the bottom of the bike.

Remove the belly pan and it would be a whole lot better.

What's going on with the hugger?

That's cool! Bit dangerous having the tank at the bottom though, aren't you worried about scraping it? Looks good though.

I like it for a few reasons, not only is it a 500cc 2 stroke triple but its had some real engeneering go into it. I'm not overly keen on the asthetic values of the bike as it looks like it has potential to be a high speed brick.

Im guessing this is a show bike? What's the specs on it, costs whats been done etc?

i think thats pretty cool, good to see something unusual and tailored to your own specifications! it will have a low centre of gravity with the tank being there, is that why you put it there? bet it goes well!! keep up the good work!

did honda not try this with one of their race bikes at some point?, but people riding it had issues due to the shifiting center of balance (if i remember correct)

anyway nice build, and def like that exhaust

Fucking badass.

I agree about the tank/bottom/scraping it but I guess if it is a show bike then fair play.

Dead cool that, but I'd have done it black Mr. Green

I can appreciate someone's gone to a lot of time and effort to build such a thing. But I don't like it much, and I can't see an upside down engine/tank/exhaust configuration catching on somewhat.

I think everyone's being a bit harsh, the thing is absolutely awesome, it's only like 140kg and of a really simple design so the engine can be out dead quick and stuff, really really cool bit of engineering and it looks bloody mean to boot!
