    ...since designing your own ideal bike is a bit too much
    you mean something like this?

    Yep, GSXR750 forks, early 90ish
    ZX7R originally but touched up here and there.
    The RGV-XR supermono is mine, a short story on it here
    http://www.thumperpage.com/articles/XRG660.html but the "Pantera" (Italian
    for panther) is a collaboration between me and my brother ie he designed and
    built it while I watched and emptied his beer fridge :)

    Aye Yup ! That'd be me Mr Ricci, guilty as charged.

    You're out in the Blue Mountains aren't you ? Let me know the next time you're
    taking that wee beasty to the track - I'd love to have a look up close.

    DR750 BIG - the biggest single available (but the yam 660 is the most available)

    There is a DR800 also, rarer though. A guy I know used to race a DR750 in
    SOS racing, came second in NSW at the time on a road registered bike, only
    real mods were a pipe and brakes. Yes it did run a 21" front wheel. He can
    ride a bit though.

    G'day John,

    Closer to Parramatta actually. It's been on the track a couple of times
    already for some initial shakedown runs and is now pretty sorted and ready
    to race at least. It's been quite an uneventful development path to get it
    to this point. But I guess that's because his earlier efforts with other
    bikes were...err...much more eventful! Ya live n learn. I'll give ya a yoo
    hoo when it's next out.
