Interesting motorcycles, not XS650

[atom4488]

You need knobblies in the UK to ride our tarmac (paved) roads as they are so potholed we need the skills of Dougie Lampkin to get around, so there.
If you don't know Dougie Lampkin look him up.

Without looking him up, I was reasonably certain that he would prove to be either a trials or enduro rider. Man has an impressive record!

I’ve always been amazed by his work and how he makes them look like they left the factory that way!

And he does it in a shed in his garden with not-a-lot of expensive tooling.

Yes, so he would have us believe.
As far as I know, he works for the MoD and doubtless has access to a lot of useful kit and machinery.

I have the Ducati and the BMW too.

He worked for the MOD many years ago
If you watch his videos you will see him working
I met him at the Kempton park autojumble
He's a straight up bloke

I like the bikes he produces but don’t believe that he does that in his small garage shop. I watched a video of him joining crankcases together and after watching it didn’t believe that the end product was that which was being shown in the vid. I’m not so concerned about how they are made but remain impressed with the final result.

I'm not saying he's faking it, without doubt he has a lot of talent.

Imagine all the fun and trouble you could get into with this:

Just out of curiosity, do you know how much they are asking for it?

 

[Charles13]

Just out of curiosity, do you know how much they are asking for it?

My guess is $30k

$19.5K Cdn (or a bit over $13K usd @1.48 exchange)

Edit - see post 3,718. Sorry for the confusion.

Wow, that’s pretty reasonable

 

[bosco659]

Edit my post 3,712. That’s not the bike for sale. The actual bike is a stock like cbx1000. I don’t know how that image got mixed it. Anyway whoever owns it had a beauty!

I suspect that might be a tad wheelie prone. Assuming it had any power that is...
