Its not often I see a custom bike that I really like but this is quite a thing :

From the other side:

Strangely enough discounting the freaky removed rear cylinder replaced with a huge centrifugal blower thing it reminds me of the Ducati hypermotard. Never the less I would love to see this as the new blastRR...

there's more to that blower than is readiloy apparent -- unless it's customary to take the final drive of the blower

The Jesse Rooke bike is really sweet.

I also am a big fan of the fire-blast.

I wonder if a city-blast would be as sweet as I think it would be.

If you were to lighten up/remove some of the bracing that is above the rear cylinder on the twin version.
The stresses would be less on the frame with the single, so I don't think it would be too detrimental.

With that configuration you'd be able to look waaay down inside to see the carb down there.

It would give the bike a very open and light "feel". Besides being an awesome commute mount.
Or first street bike for my son in 2-3 years
