Could possibly a Buell (they use the frame as a fuel tank). Not familiar with them, though.

They also use a different engine but points for creative thought.

Looks like a decent job at speed, cool bike, but the short tail does look odd to me.

The Roberts are like the Bush family of Motorcycling, I've read that he is a colossal dick. If you've seen On Any Sunday 2 you could probably see how that might be true. I liked KR Jr. a lot though.

I think the point is Z3n is a space cowboy on the edge of a frontier unknown to man, he's out there pushing the limits, trail braking into the abyss. Finding out where the edge of the razor is, turning to face the darkness and revving his 690 into it's vast gaze. You gotta live this to learn it bro.

Nope, the G forces of cornering in a motorcycle keep the fuel at the bottom and prevent sloshing. Same reason oil pans aren't baffled on bikes.

Tight finances and not being located with the bike have proved detrimental to me repairing it. Either way I'm in Canada and Winter is Coming so I should be able to bide my time and at least start ordering parts, although a little piece of me dies every sunny 10+ degree day :(

I think they're loving idiotic in all situations except for ones where the rider physically cannot ride a 2 wheeled vehicle. They're very expensive, handle terribly, are very hard to work on, etc. You're basically throwing away every benefit of riding a motorcycle in the first place. May as well just buy a convertible for the price (spyders are about $30000 MSRP fyi).
