What's the weirdest stock bike you've seen on the road?

Post by Jug »

Chuck a picture up so we can all marvel at some of the more fringe bikes that are out there.

Rules are.. you must have seen it on the road, not at a bike show and it can't be a custom special 1off cafe chop type thing.
Just a stock bike that you don't see very often and that many of us might not even know that they even existed.

Last year on the way back from West Bay I saw one of these strange things, I had to look it up when I got home as I didn't recognise it.. looked like a speedboat from behind.

weird as it may seen I had never seen one of these in the flesh, then chatting in the pub one night 2 guys in our remote village in north devon owned one each , both moved away now , Stu sold his and bought a nice XS650 that he customised, John may still have his ,

This came visiting us in Honiton in 2007. It was brand spankers then and the owner promised to let me have a spin on it "in a week or three", never saw him again :( .

I've also seen Sachs Madass out on the road, well parked in an industrial estate.. it was a black one. Looks a fun little bike anyway.

Matey who owned it said it was the best town bike ever. What with weighing next to nothing and with a well developed 125 cc single as a powerplant I could well believe it. I wouldn't want to take it on the RTTB though.
