If you are interested in motorcycle engineering projects you might find this interesting.
Bit more than your average project bike though  :) .

Before I start to pick at it, I do appreciate hours of work gone into it. However, the exhaust welding is terrible, the digital dash looks like a cheap afterthought and the exhaust exit pipe running up behind the engine is plain fugly. I do like the fact it has been ridden though, you can tell by those chicken strips.
Not quite sure what to do with my early mid-life crisis. Ideas on a post card to P.O.BOX 150...

Huge respect for the guy, what he has been through and what he has built, incredible engineering indeedy, but I'd rather have a stock mt-01 or that z1 he's parked next to at the nec. Stunning work though, I couldn't imagine how good it must feel to make stuff like the individual components, let alone the whole bike
