definitely like this

i was thinking about making mine a cafe racer, with the short stubby rear end, but that is making me think otherwise.

Awfully nice that one eh? I`m sure it`s Killerwhale or one of the Dutch members who knows whose it is, been talked about on here several times.
Those carbon BST wheels are really light, in fact that whole bike will be at least 25 kg lighter than a stock-un!

What do you reckon on those front forks Killerwhale, Ducati?

does the rear swing look like a yzf 750 ..??

Post by **Mincehead** » Sat May 14, 2011 11:39 pm

Yep, looks like one to me. The BST carbon wheels are available to suit R1 and 6`s with the larger diameter wheel spindle and 5.5" wheel width.
Both fit in the YZF swingarm.
I would like to see views of that one from other angles, looks like the front brake line is routed through the steering stem with a drilled bottom yoke before a coupling splits the line into two, like BMW use.
Also interesting is that the fuel tap is reversed, it`s now pointing out to the right of the bike.

kev and i were in my garage yesterday and were supprised in the weight difference in the YZF 750 to the standard TRX rear swing...the trx would be 2--3 kilos lighter..all the extra alloy obiously..therefore the effect of the lighter carbon wheels with the YZF swing is same as OEM.. apart of the look

of course...

Indeed, but the carbon wheels, junking of extra bracketry, frame rails etc would help in the weight loss stakes. Those brake rotors look VERY light and the mini rear caliper (maybe AP racing) and the smaller disc too.
There`s something else interesting and it looks like some kind of ducting near where the headers join the cylinder head.

It is a bloke called Oscar I believe, pics come from the TRX Project - which has some interesting stuff. The bike is really stunning, one of the best I've ever seen

I like the way he has lifted the height of the seat about 3 inches further up the tank.

That appeals to me as I am never comfortable with my legs bent much more than 90 degrees. Good stuff.

Cant wait to get started on mine! Need to decide what to do with the back end of it.

This is what made me kick off the new project:

I love the lines of that, especially the rear end.

Yes I agree, it`s sexy all right but far too expensive for what it is. Still, if someone gave one to me...............................

coxylaad · Post by **coxylaad** » Sun May 15, 2011 8:26 pm

totally agree, but I think the fact that its so expensive makes it more desirable....well to some people anyway!

lovely bike, and its something to provide a bit inspiration, as is the first bike in this picture. Good stuff.

Hell yeah, blame it all on the Dutch guys!

It's true though, I've seen it before but can't remember where. I thought it was swedish, but that's the grey/gold one.
