    Not my cup of tea, although I can understand the appeal for some.

    But if you're trying to sell a bike in fleabay, don't take a photo with what looks like oil dripping off her...

    As far as the Daytona goes the whole lowered front end/jacked up back end might look good on a drag car but it really doesn't work on a bike!

    Well I'm not knocking it - a lot of work has gone into this and I'm sure it goes as good as it looks, but for me it's appearance is too heavy and clumsy and has lost all pretence of the classic Bonnie look.
    I prefer the two Scramblers he has for sale.

    I dislike both bikes. Can't understand why anybody want's to change the look of the triumphs so much. Still each to their own.

    Yes agree that on a tight circuit such a Caldwell especially the club circuit a lot is down to the rider. Was there myself with friends on lc’s and powervalves so know what you mean. Three sisters circuit in Lancs is an even shorter tighter circuit than Caldwell and the fastest bike around there used to be a 250 proddy.

    But back to the Bonnie still don’t think that on the open road it would stand a chance,,,,,,,,there’s more to making a slow bike quick ;) than a few engine mods, suspension mods and brakes.
    A steering damper would be a must and maybe if it’s kicking out a lot more bhp the frame would need stiffening etc but some ride around problems.

    It looks ok but not to my taste.
    Makes me think along the lines of Hi I’m Gaylord and I’m very butch ( think of YMCA Biker look now ) :)
