I think its a very interesting concept, but its just not my kind of thing.

I can appreciate the sheer amount of time, work, thought & engineering that MUST have gone into making the end result, & it looks very purposeful too.
Unfortunately I cannot bend myself into the shape required to ride a bike like that any longer !!

I bet it sounds great with those pipes, and no doubt corners & stops much better than standard with the brakes & suspension fitted.

A very interesting project !

Well, Id especially did not like the exhaust, as it does not fit with the line of the rest.

It reminded me a lot of thos Godier Genoud long distance race bikes, guess you know'em ?

Holger,

I agree the exhausts are not good in looks, but I bet will sound good.

Familiar with the Godier Genoud Z1300...........with the single rear shock absorber ?

They did not really do anything for me either, it looked quite strange & unbalanced with only 1 rear shock on one side.

I guess its each to their own liking & style, but I now try to keep my own 1300 looking as standard as possible with subtle updates & mods after making a few choppers.

Was perusing the opening picture when my anti malware program blocked kalex-engineering.de from accessing my computer. If you folks notice some unwanted software/ads on your computers, this is probably where they came from.

Other wise I like the bike as long as I don't have to ride it.

+1 on the exhaust but the rest is nice IMO
