Here's what I've found at "The Kneeslider" on 6/4/2007!

and its story I "borrowed" from there... Hopefully won't be blamed by the author :

[b]This bike was on The Kneeslider over a year ago but I had very little information on it at the time. I just noticed it turned up on eBay and I have to admit, I love this thing.

According to the description it has a Kraftek frame, a four speed Harley Davidson transmission, all powered by a 2.5 liter Alfa Romeo V6. There are six individual exhaust pipes, a pair of Weber downdrafts, with fork, discs and calipers from a Kawasaki ZXR750.

The owner says there’s no charging system so, unless someone engineers one, it’s a short range bar hopper. The whole thing needs some, … what’s the term, … “finish work” to get it into daily rider status but it sure does look good!

looks like the charging system wont be the only thing restricting the range how much gas does that tank hold

how the hell i know! i think 18-20l, considering the width in the front [if there're no volume for stacks taken, i'm sure it'd be 30l, 'coz i use to make tanks of that size]. can't say i like the idea of the stacks out of the tank... when it rains, it pours... [8D]

me too. the bloke must like watching the spinning pulleys and the running belts more than riding the bike...absense or air filters proves that [8D]

maybe the covers just weren't made then... when a bike like that just able to move, it starts to move... even with no air filter, no pulleys cover, even no brakes :D

wat i especially like about the bike, the engine looks as a sculpture, not a piece of shit taken from under bonnet. i wander if that's its original look, or it was prepared by chris?..
