This was in the carpark on Monday, wonder if this is one of the CRK kits, not bad I thought, though Im guessing its "work in progress", a few odd things going on here and there.

When you mentioned the other day on the phone remembered I'd seen a kit in mag about such and that's it.

:iagree just wiped 50% off the value.
I used to have long hair, took acid and went to hip joints. Now I long for hair, take antacid and need a new hip joint

I rather like it  :icon_biggrin: although I have to confess to not having suffered any kind of bike with a carb on since 99 and I intend to keep it that way :icon_wink:

I do like it but in two minds with them becoming rarer if you know what I mean.

I fancied cafe racering one when they were dirt cheap.  I need to perfect ally tank fabrication first

I like it. And I don't really care about originality much. If that is how you like it and how you want to ride it, build it. (As long as you build it in decent quality and not hack it and destroy it.)

Interesting. But just looking at that seat makes my @r$e want to pucker!

Looks like an extra from Mad Max
Black 885i Tiger UK based
Orange 955i Tiger Canadian based
Norton 961S never got it, tired of waiting

It looks half finished. Especially the seat. Cool bike though.
Is it really an adventure bike if its wheels never see dirt?

not a CRK kit, they have a modified rear subframe plus different tank and seat unit... :)

Yep, seen that one before, very nice, seat looks just about as comfy though

Although I like that, I think a set of triple stacked pipes would really at it off.

:iagree If they are going to use the X75 colour scheme it should have the triple pipes.
