I'm sure many have seen this already, but for those who haven't check it out it's very cool.

I actually like the new HD XR1200 and this is basically that but with a bevel-drive 900 in it!   [moto]

That is a beautiful bike.  I'd love to have one.  But the current HD engine puts out more HP than that old Bevel drv. 900.

A well tuned DS 1000 would be hot.

Current HD engine puts out more power than a '78 bevel drive... there's something for HD to put in the brochures. My '83 GS1100e put out more power than the current HD engines. I think it's about coolness factor. But I would love to see how the DS would make it go... but for coolness points the bevel drive gets the nod.

I like it.

I'd love to mate a 900 motor in some other frame someday...


Bwooooooahhh

I think last months issue of Motorcyclist had a sidebar story on that bike along with a Termi modded XR1200(?) in Spain where they are doing a BBQ & Harley race series.
No modification goes unpunished. Memento mori.  Good people drink good beer.  Things happen pretty fast at high speeds.

It's all up to your will level, your thrill level and your skill level.  Everything else is just fluff.

The fabrication pics were cool.  Kinda like American Chopper except with bikes that look good muahaha
