I hadn't seen this yet. 1100cc six, model name is Stratosphere:   | ||
| Tom_b |
About 20 plus years behind honda and Kawasaki, they built inline 6 cylinders in the early 80's | ||
| Natexlh1000 |
Yeah but this bike is POINTY. | ||
| Tsispyder |
i think its ugly | ||
| Tramp |
It's the original muth katanah, updated a bit...same vinyl seat extensions, same flash gordon flyscreen.... brilliant and balanced, artistically. i'm actually impressed. | ||

REAL POINTY | ||

Another engineering exercise in self-indulgence. It almost has a Honda Nighthawk feel to it. | ||
| Indy_bueller |
Aint it amazing how they keep throwing underslung exhausts on everything all of a sudden? | ||

Hideous, but I bet it sounds great. | ||
| Ingemar |
I wonder what that would do with a turbo on it.  | ||
| Seth |
To me it looks like a standard from the mid-seventies but with a proto-type flair. A sort of KZ meets Flash Gordon feel. | ||
| Oldog |
to many reruns of speed racer..... | ||

That's what I was thinking Seth... | ||

That fairing is almost identical to the original Katana fairing, early 80's I believe. I like it myself. | ||
| Cataract2 |
But twins are just so much more fun.  | ||
| Branebanger |
i would go for , if it had belt drive, oil adn fuel in frame, and wasn't so dam fugly | ||
| Easy_rider |
Nice swoopy lines from the side. I like it. Doesn't fit my real-world riding, so I wouldn't buy it, though. | ||
| Natexlh1000 |
Is the engine a mockup? The headers don't seem to line up right. ME = WRONG http://www.gizmag.com/go/4770/gallery/ looks real afterall. (Message edited by natexlh1000 on October 30, 2005) | ||

"That fairing is almost identical to the original Katana fairing, early 80's I believe. I like it myself" U4euh Yeah I agree. Check this page...these French guys think so too! http://perso.wanadoo.fr/katana.france/ HellBuelly J Don't wheelie in front of me, I may not follow. Don't wheelie behind me, I may not lead..

The six chrome pipes in front look like the grill of a '49 Merc. | ||
| Paulson |
Dorky front fender makes it look like a police bike. I like the headlight/windscreen though. The tank/seat placement look all wrong. Location of pipes is GOOD! | ||

Love the comments... style over substance every time. | ||

Can you imagine how much FUN it would be to gap the valves? You'd need to take vacation time! | ||
| Light_keeper |
And the first word that comes to mind is....... Vomit!!!!!  | ||
| Natexlh1000 |
"Can you imagine how much FUN it would be to gap the valves? You'd need to take vacation time!" I think on the old CBX sixes you had to yank the engine out for a valve servicing. How fast can you make a hydralic lifter go before it ruins your life? | ||
| Blake |
Why not one pipe for each exhaust valve? The third graders love that kind of thing. The more pipes the better! | ||
| Lowflyer |
I was wondering why they stopped at 6 cylinders. Why not a 1100cc inline 12? | ||
| Captainkirk |
Most Heinous. | ||

No worries! The Moto Czyz dude is probably fixin to hack that IL6 n-gine in two and transform it into a V6 MotoGP bike that will set the world on fire with all manner of new technology. Just one clarification... it will unfortunately never see the grid of a MotoGP race. Sorry for the smart arsedness; I'm feeling a bit cynical; must be chaneling Dyna.  | ||

Didn't they use those in the old Battlestar Galactica series?  |
