my currentest favorite. I'd just get rid of the fairing.

Wow, that's sweet Splash! A lot of the bikes I've posted have been from Bikeexif. Check out pipeburn.com too.
















































This is one of the best 900rr's I've ever seen. I love how small and tiny it looks. You don't usually see a bike with an inline 4 that can make you think it's a "cafe". Unfortunately, this bike was stolen in Mexico when the guy rode it from Canada down there. I've kind of thought about doing something similar to this if I end up ever buying a 900rr. I love the tail end on there.

They use to race bicycles on a board track,but, did you know that when the sport died out, they still raced bicycles on board track but in the slip stream of a motorcycle? It was very dangerous. The motorcycle rider sat upright creating the best low pressure for the bike rider who could not see much more than his back. As they came up on slower pairs, that's when the fun started. The MC had a roller hanging off the back that the bicycle rider could put his front tire against.

Every one of these that I've seen are direct drive with a leather belt to a wooden pulley on the rear wheel.
Think about what was going on. The MC rider in those days had to pump oilers and adjust timing and keep the MC on a 45 degree banked track while a guy on a bicycle was crammed up against the roller at 70+ MPH and dodging traffic at the same time.
The MC's look more like a John Deere tractor than a MC. LOL
