I remember my first ride on one of these, for it's day it was eye popping, this is a B2 which was the same as the B1 expect for the firing. One of the first production bikes to have DFI as it was called then.

This was another leap the A1, unitrak, anti dive and improved DFI, now with diagnostic (codes) a race nose firing about another 10bhp. The firing really worked, the suspension was in another league and the lovely black chrome which very sadly didn't last in the salt :'( Awesome Big Grin

It's a full stainless system with black carbon and titanium end can.

Re: The cool bike thread...... - Gnasher - 24-04-20

This is sweet full titanium system those carbs cost twice as much as your bike Wink

That's black chrome Wink

looked really good when new and was copying what was on the track at the time, the same as the later Kwaks with their titanium systems are copying today. Like many things you either love it or you don't.

I think this is just pure cool. Minimal, understated, unique and no bling. It looks very ridable too. Ice cool baby. 8)

And how long until the chain wears through the rear brake line? :lol

Re: The cool bike thread...... - coffee - 29-04-20

It's nice but a smaller Bates headlamp would look better IMO,and just noticed that brake line !!!!

Re: The cool bike thread...... - robbo - 29-04-20

Why do the seats have to be foccing brown. All down to the beard oil hipster bollocks I suppose. :lol

Re: The cool bike thread...... - coffee - 01-05-20

That's what I thought. The Virago was shaft drive.

That's just nuts :eek .Something I have been saying for ages they may look cool to some but are mainly unpractical or totally un-rideable - and that is not cool.I wonder how much of the look of some of these promo pictures is stuff that is put on just for the picture but taken off and swapped to actually ride it.

Could well be all the engines were the same. The TR1 was one of the few big bikes that had a fully enclosed drive chain, when at the time there was a move to shaft drives.

Re: The cool bike thread...... - VNA - 01-05-20

Says it's based on the virago xv920. Have to say that engine looks near identicle to the TR1 unit, apart from that is, the final drive.
