Only around 200???


pfft.



Of course, that'd be easily remedied by changing out the pulley on the charger and adding a power commander and Boom - you'd be back up to 300hp for about $650 including a dyno-tune session.



























And someone has taken a new Honda 650 tourer thingie.

Completely agree Conrice.

As one of the few people in the world that have managed to survive the original H1, H2 , Z900 upgrade process I feel reasonably qualified to comment.

The original H series bikes were totally bare bones, upright bars machines. The thing was never about styling and being slippery in the air; it was all about an outrageous delivery of horsepower in a very short area of revs.

Big fun, if you're on your game, but an absolute recipe for disaster if you're a bit tired or hungover.

I love to see the resurrection of the old H2 name, but I'd want to put some MX bars on it.

Lawdy - I miss my Buell (of course, I really just miss having a motorcycle...) I go back and forth about the tube-framed Buells, but there's no question about this one. Nice.

According to the thread in another bike forum where I copied that from, that is allegedly a 2013 S1000rr... money well spent... the next time they have an idea like that I could send them my bank account number and save them the trouble of ruining a perfectly good bike while spending thousands of dollars...

Not that much into bmw bikes but that's just wrong...

Please send them mine as well, we could go halves on this and become rich and retire.

Don't let Wooferdog see this, he is looking for that Fighter Plane kind of look.

But this is almost Fighter Plane amalged with Steampunk. Both totally legitimate looks, but maybe not all at once.

And most certainly not on a very late model expensive bike.

On a barn find - fine. On a new bike, you're just being a flash showy git.
