The bike that guy built

Quote:
You'd think Guy Martin would get enough kicks from 130mph laps of the Isle of Man. Apparently not, that's why he's building a 500bhp turbo cafe racer.

"It's the scariest thing I've ever ridden," he tells MCN. "The first time I rode it I was screaming in my lid!"

Truck-fitter, TT racer and shy star of TV's The Boat That Guy Built, Guy Martin, is trying to explain why he's building this bike. It started life as a plain and simple 1991 GSX-R1100, but virtually nothing of the original remains.

The bike that guy bought

Guy never built this bike. A member on customfighters.com called Dave Rice built it. All guy has done is painted it and tidied up a few bits, the main work was done long before he got it.

Heres the thread showing the bike in its old colour scheme and with a different headlight. https://www.customfighters.com/forums/showthread.php?t=32106
