I love this one posted by DP - dp said: Yes yes I know it only has 2 wheels but this is sex on 2 wheels...... DP says: This bike really "talks" to me...... I really fancy getting my CBT and making a bike, the engine would be a 125cc four stroke three cylinder semi radial engine, hard tail, super nices J

	I think that those style of bikes near the top of the page look good....until someone sits on them and the ridiculous riding position becomes apparent.

	Hmm, custards arent really my thing, however hand crafted. I ride an XTZ750 Super Tenere which is a huge trail bike but do big trailies light my candle? Not really, I already ride one and while it's a great bike I've been there, done that. Sportsbikes? You go very fast once, the second time and times after that it's never the same again. Same with wheelies. For me the first time I opened the throttle fully on a non learner bike was on one of the weediest of sports bikes, an SOHC Honda 400/4 and the thrill of acceleration has never matched that 1975 bike ever since even though I probably barely touched the speed limit. No, if I had a heap of dosh dumped in front of me and was told to buy a bike, I'd buy two. The sensible side of me would buy a Vectrix electric maxi-scooter and the nutter side of me would buy a supermoto.

	slater said: WTFBBQ! That is lovely! Also, re: the sketchy riding position......why not move the pegs back so there was more of a 'drag bike' lay-down stance? Bike people - is that even possible?

	I've owned a few 'retro' bikes in my time: First bike was a Suzuki GP100 Then a GSX250 Then a Z400J Not forgetting the CBX750 Proper 80s retro-cool that one - twin headlamps, air assisted shock and anti-dive forks. Finally.... a bit of early 90s retro-ish stuff, and the earliest bike I've kept a picture of.... Yamaha TRX850 - poor mans' Ducati.
