Wow, I'd say the big-bore 2-stroke engine fits into that gen chasis better than any other I've seen. Not sure what it is but it just looks like it came right outta Japan.

What's the sexiest mod you can do to your Open Class(450) four stroke...

TURN it into an Open Class Two Stroke! Very nice.

That is one badass bike for sure....no denying that! Personally though....I'd do ( buy if I had the money ) a 2014 CR 250 AF. I bet sticking a well balanced and ported 250 2 stroke in one of those bad boys would be an awesome combination.

Ahhhh.....I'm dreaming....maybe one day.

Looks like a death trap, I mean only one exhaust, how could it possibly make it around the track with all that uncentralised mass, bet it just constantly wants to turn right.




Seriously though those things look unreal, I'm with jeffro, 250cc would be plenty for me though

This 2014 version is sweet. Several of your previous models such as the Bailey replica are too, but I really like the new one, looks very clean. Nice job.

Now, please stuff one of those big bore smoker engines into a Suzuki chassis.

The 500AF is about 16 pounds lighter than a 450

Hp is a little higher , but treally it isnt a huge difference there.
Although they feel completely different riding them
As the 500 makes peak hp at a much lower rpm , so has about twice the torque.

hp, is as value of torque and ..(rpm) / time
so two engines making about the same Hp, yet at vastly different rpms , feel completely different.

Beautiful bike A.J. Agree with the other guy's, I think this one is the best I've seen. Was wondering, how long a moto will it do with the stock tank?

$10,499

I'd say a hand-fabricated custom for $10,499 is cheap.

Would do normal motos on a tank.. no problem!
Smile .

For national length motos , just like a 450, it might be cutting it close? maybe need a bit larger aftermarket tank etc..
