Thats insane!!

Sounds like he needs to rejet, and when he took off it seems he has second gear issues as well. I sure as heck wouldnt want to ride it. A little scary. Some people have way to much time on their hands.

Hi Brew,
well, the bike looks stupid being ridden by someone six feet tall, that's for sure.
But what about "little people"? If a person only grows to be three feet tall there's no way he can ride a full size bike and thus he is denied the joys of motorcycling. But not with one of those critters! Not insane or "too much time" at all, niche marketing is all.

LOL, I love the idea of putting the motor in a lighter chasis. But I'd be real worried about my nads in the case of a back fire through the carbs.

what abut that exhaust

where can I get one of those??

Probably a good thing he had trouble with that shift. If he had hit it with that power to weight ratio he would have been outside the orbit of Pluto before he could get out of the throttle. Bet that thing is a hoot to ride but would not want to do it daily

I wonder if XSCHop has seen this yet!?

Did you all notice that it was the OEM Swingarm converted to a single side design.....albeit a smaller tire/wheel, but still!!!!!

And he has Jessie's Hydro-clutch conversion as well!

Looks like the seat/cowl is the fuel tank.

It was probably cutting out due to sucking the guys shirt into the bare intakes!

I think the shift 'problem' was that he just had trouble finding the shifter with his foot, the first time...

[xschop]

um hmm

T.C. I did see it a while back. And the video too.It was on one of the foreign XS11 sites in some rally pics. I was going to ask MathH if he could translate and ask the guy if he had to machine a stronger FD gear inner housing. With the R1 monoshock mod, this would be a definite improvement especially when it comes to changing the tire! That's why I decide to use the Triumph ST single sided swingarm. I can remove the wheel in less than 5 minutes! Someone still needs to find out about this......chop

Pics of this bike off of the UK site where part of my inpiration. That and Mathh's superXS.

Hi Guys,

You need to remember that this is not a "road bike"...... just a toy for occasional use "not on public roads"........ several parts of it (including the single yoke fork!) would probably not be robust enough for "normal" use........

I think the conversion to single-sider is possibly in the same category.
