It's like they found a pair of old 80s track suits and decided "Yep, these will do nicely as rain covers."

That's some automotive insanity right there.

It seems like they took the frame of a Jawa CZ 175 and bolted a 1.3 liter engine from a Lada into it. It's like they found a picture of a Boss Hoss and figured that if the crazy americans can bolt two wheels and a handlebar to a car engine, so can they.

My favorite part is probably the clutch handle made from a piece of metal and some garden hose.

The video is polish, so the speedometer is most likely in kph. Your point still stands though.

Says at the end of the video that they're trying to secure funding to build the transmission.

I guess building a frame and bolting the wheels to the engine is relatively easy compared to building a custom transmission.

That was amusing, that UK cop was almost nagging him. "You're not paying much attention to riding, are you?"
To be honest I don't get why he's waving his arms around like that while he talks. I bet he's the kind of guy who has to walk around while on the phone as well and finds himself three blocks from his house after a long call.

Put the tail in line with the tank, and ditch that silly flower arrangement of exhausts in favor of a hidden can underneath (like on the ER-6/Ninja 650) and it would look much better.

Shamelessly stolen from the AI youtube thread. Don't hit your brakes just because you suddenly see a police car behind the corner. New fairings are more expensive than a speeding ticket.

Saw this beauty at a local dealer. 1986 Honda CB350S with a mere 860km (535 miles) on the odo. 25 years old and it looks like it has just been uncrated.

They're asking 45,000 SEK (about €5400 or us$6700).

Close, it's a 1983 CX500, also low mileage (4380km, 2700 miles). They're asking 45k SEK for that as well.

How do they manage that? The 650 without ABS is 180kg. Is an engine with half the displacement really not more than 8kg lighter?
