Look at the short wheelbase. Clip ons and rearsets will have you looking like your screwing a football. Knees at your ears isn't any way to ride unless you prefer the 'I'm in prison' pose. It's nicely done as it is- perhaps a slightly longer swingarm and longer seat to slide around on. Then level the orientation of the bike (looks like it's canting forward) But hey, it'd be a hoot as it is! Title: Re: Zaeta (not Catherine) Post by: The Bacon Junkie on March 06, 2012, 06:18:30 PM Ouch! No flippin way. Look at the short wheelbase. I'm used to racing ysr50's on kart tracks... So I could care less about looking like I'm "screwing a football", as you so eloquently put it... It looks like it would be a hoot in the canyons, at the track, or squirting through traffic on your way to work... Besides, with 60hp at only 250lbs, people would have too much trouble keeping up when the road gets twisty to make fun of what I looked like... [evil] YMMV [bacon] Title: Re: Zaeta (not Catherine) Post by: hillbillypolack on March 06, 2012, 07:17:45 PM Besides, with 60hp at only 250lbs, people would have too much trouble keeping up when the road gets twisty to make fun of what I looked like... [evil] [bacon] Yes indeed. That power / weight ratio would be a helluva lot of fun. Title: Re: Zaeta (not Catherine) Post by: ducatiz on March 07, 2012, 12:16:05 PM Hello gorgeous
I wish someone else would make one of these... Perfect weight/hp... Cagiva Mito 500? Sigh.. Title: Re: Zaeta (not Catherine) Post by: junior varsity on March 08, 2012, 09:12:36 AM that looks like lots of fun for sure. I'd also like a dirty cheap version of that with about 30-40hp to have as a learner bike for friends/family interested in learning to ride.

Apart from that I like the rest of it, very clean Title: Re: Zaeta (not Catherine) Post by: junior varsity on March 09, 2012, 11:06:51 AM Wow it actually has a smaller tank than a Monster :P lots of bikes do! |
