interesting illustration on what happens when magnesium wheels catch fire.

this one shouldn't be too hard, but it might be a little confusing...

here's a bigger pic:

That looks like some sort of Frankensteinian 4-cyl Gold Wing Cafe Racer custom make by some sort of Big Dude...

[gigantic]

yep. too easy. my GL1000S... bingo, Steve-o

[gigantic]

try this one: for bonus points, name the designer

[1967 R50/2]

Isn't that the Sach's show bike from a few years ago?

[bradzdotcom]

sure is. i think you won.

the beast showed up at intermot and paris in 01. milan in '02.
and it still needs to lose that lower cowling.

it uses a swedish Folan engine:
998.00 ccm (60.90 cubic inches)
Engine type: V2
Stroke: 4
Starter: Electric
Cooling system: Liquid
Transmission type
final drive: Chain

it's been seen with a suzuki engine in it too (sachs uses suzuki engines in some of their models already).

it's heavy:
it's been on hold for a while, cause they can't get it to stop flexing around too much.

definitely naked.
definitely needs a carbon fiber frame...but the cost would be even higher.
they plan a 1000 unit production run....someday.



Hartmut Huhn designed it.

[gigantic]

i was under the impression that it was a hans muth (of BMW R65, suzuki Katana etc fame) design.

OK. Here is one. Obviously my continuing obsession with non-telescopic front ends...uh.... continues.

[gigantic]

it that the legendary Spagthorpe Dachshund?
Lance

[1967 R50/2]

Nope. But that is an excellent name.

Hint #1: The front suspension makes use of rubber bands. You can see one in the pic.

Sachs V 1000 cc :

…some look-a-like bits and pieces (see headlamp) they used on their 50 cc Sachs MadAss (also available as a 125 cc)

Hint #2 Dr. Evil hails from the same country as this bike.
