This bike has featured on the forum before, but apparently it's now up for sale. Andy is a mate of Stu's and has written to me asking if anyone is interested in buying it, or might know someone who is. This bike is a one off professional build from England (frame is Ian Kilner heritage) and while it maybe not appeal to all members here, surely someone knows of somebody who would kill for this thing? Here's Andy's specs on the bike:
"I reluctantly have to sell my Custom built EFE that I first designed and got built by Revolution Motorcycles in the UK in '99 just before I emigrated to beautiful sunny and tropical Queensland. I eventually got it over here through all the legitimate channels and got it finished by Lee at SportsBike Engineering here in Cairns, who also thinks outside the square and does some top engineering work on specials.I finally got it registered and have had some serious fun on it since.
Here it is in a nutshell......
Custom built frame by one of UKs top custom framebuilders(Previously..RIP Ian Kilner).88 Suzuki 1100EFE very low mileage stock motor with GSXR 750 carbs attached. Modified ZXR750J front and back end with billet ally yokes up top. Hand manufactured Quickbob tank with aircraft filler and pingel hi-flo tap. Dynacoils, one-off stainless pipes with Renegade can. One-off carbon fibre airbox. Rear seat can be unclipped to reveal stainless carry rack.
From what I can gather, there wouldnt be many bikes this radical that are legitimately registered around...........
I know I will never get the near 20k in Aussie dollars it cost to get it to this stage but 10k would suffice.What d'ya reckon??"
At this stage email me if interested by clicking my forum name to get Andy's details.
I got this final bit of info from Andy this morning and found it quite interesting so I'll share it:
"Ian (Kilner) had most of this bike done, and I went up to Northampton to see him in the workshop on the Saturday........but he didnt show. I spoke to his offsider, Alan, who wondered where he was. Later that day i got the call.... This is the last bike he built."
