anyone been watching it on discovery channel ? I really do want one.
They're great looking things - I particularly like the look of the BMW engine in the first pic, though having ridden a (clearly much newer)
R1200GS, there's a bit of a quirk to get used to when you wind the throttle on (bike does a funny kind of twist/shudder thing).
I like flat trackers too - check out this site linky lots of articles on various specials worldwide
At least they do admit to emulating 60s UK.
Still not Tritons and the like though...

Seconded, think I sold mine for around £345 IIRC - mine was a bog standard 750 Fastback.
What do you guys think of this - more streetfighter than cafe racer:-
Streetfighter 4
He bought his brake hoses & lights from me & then spent 3 hours per light sanding, buffing & polishing the powdercoat off the rear housing
of the light to bring it up to the finsih you see here! Won best streetfighter at the Lone Wolf Rally - his first show!

My favourite is the XV750 - this could be built for not much cash
