I never thought I'd see the day when sub 400# sportbikes were called heavy, but progress marches on.
If I have enough time left, I'd like to build 2 more bikes: one a cruiser with the craziest set up you could imagine: and a sub 300# trellis sport bike with a 1200cc motor. I've done a little testing and have begun to gather some of the parts, but nothing is set in stone.

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Does NCR sell their Ti frames seperately?

I am pretty sure they do, but it will cost you.  [thumbsup]
Woohoohoohoo! Two personal records! For breath holding and number of sharks shot in the face.

yes they do, but you have to special order it.  they don't sell them off-shelf

there are a couple of other smaller race shops (all in italy for some reason) who do sell frames off shelf, but i don't know of any who do titanium, only chromoly

I'm interested. It would be fun to piece it together over time.

Would that trellis sport bike with a 1200cc motor be based on the 2V air cooled Monster or would it be based on the 1198 engine?
