How real motorbikes are built

Have you ever wondered how a Triumph Rocket III is built? I wonder if I can improve the handling of my GT40 with this technology?

Fantastic, nice find Chris. Of course, we all know they're barking mad in Leicester and that clip proved it.....

PS It is a nice bike though.....

Re: How real motorbikes are built

A classic build theory, let us hope they do not have a Stepney type at the factory, we would not like Ducatti to get hold of this technique.

Re: How real motorbikes are built

That is hilarious. I wish my Yamaha R1 had the kind of technology. I'm sure it would make me a much better rider.

It was priceless just to stand and watch people's faces as they slowly realized that there was something not quite right about it... and others who ummmm thought it was real ...
