When I found this image, I figured it had to be a joke, who would take the time and trouble to fit a big heavy motor into a flexible flat track frame? But no April Fools, apparently it's real.

Flexible? Hm. Half of the Triumph- and BSA-powered AHRMA roadrace bikes you see are in Trackmaster frames. And those are the better half.
ReplyDeleteVincent's too big for flat track, no? 750cc/45ci, aren't they? D.
ReplyDeleteRead first, ya dafty... D.
DeleteThe fuel tank doesn't look like any off-the-shelf racing or custom part I can think of. Do y'all think it might be a sectioned (repro) stock Vincent tank?
ReplyDeleteSure is a beautiful bike. Shame about the 100 yards of cables, brake lines, oil lines, fuel lines, plug wires, etc., that fussy up the lines, but whatr you gonna do?
