Six months

It's been a long, long time of forced stop (long story...), but finally something seems to move in the right direction. 


Still a lot to do but I really hope to make it for this year's Hills Race.
It would be an unpainted "beta" version of the Proto-moto for more than 150 + 150 KM OF ROAD TEST.... I'm already scared!
We'll see..





In the photos the bike is without the damper spring to simulate full swingarm travel. These are in a "full compressed" position.

Classified Virago

Classified Moto’s John Ryland latest project.


Started from a 1982 Yamaha Virago 920, the fork is from a 2009 Yamaha YZF R6-R  and the rear swingarm is from a 2008 YZF R6-S with a Triumph Daytona adjustable shock.


And yes, it's a Benelli tank.

Almost ready to take everything apart on this one too. Hopefully.  If I don't come up with some last minute overcomplicated stupid idea ...
