I dont believe it , (asian rat bike)

Hmm, looks a bit familiar from about a week ago ??

 

I didnt see it obviously

 

Yup, actually the yanks have done a few really nice ones. Not that I would
fancy hopping astride a vee8 engine and dumping the 'crutch' at a couple a
grand

 

Just for the benefit of those that don't read chinese, the thread is
titled Chinese made Harley!!! Holy Cow!!!
The first reply remarks that there are no shocks on the bike and wonders
whether if it has an electric starter and how powerful the engine is.
The second reply says something about brakes being on the left
side but he can't see a gear change pedal from the pictures. So he guesses that
the owner must just want to drive the bike at one speed. He also remarks
that that the engine appears to be Tianjin 375.

Without looking at it more carefully and breaking out my dictionary thats
the best I can do.

 

Looking at that rather primitive suspension, I'd say that a combination
of low tyre pressure and smooth roads would be called for.


BTH

 

I hadn't seen the link before and was prompted to post it having
recently an almost as agricultural trike powered by a falcon xflow (
complete with auto box) recently which regarding registration I wonder
how.

 

Anyone else see this becoming a sig soon?

Engrish sigs seem all the rage

Sprint.
