So I bought these two bikes, dude said they go fast but I dunno, paid $500 for the two, no warrant or rego and I am not sure how good they are, haven't seen many on the roads eh.

I will be up for tyres soon cos they have no tread on them, still got em for a song so can't complain.

Might repaint that pink and blue one.

ciao andi -

as usual, you got hosed. those two bikes are shite.

i will help you out by taking them off your hands ... say US$1,000 (that's about the going exchange rate, right?)

let me know, and next time someone tries to hose you like this, send em my way first ... no sense you going through all the headaches

They are both certainly interesting in design. What kind of engines, one-off's? I have to admint that the bodywork looks horrible on the red guy, and whoever picked the colors of the blue/pink was high as f$#k. Good luck with both of them!

And I thought the Hyper had a "beak"!

John Britten's designs were fantastic. Wish I could have the one on the right, as I always thought it was a truly stunning machine.

The one on the right looks familiar. If it has the radiator behind the motor near the seat you have something special. That is a rare bike worth lots of cash. It was a first in many ways. I remember when I first saw that bike in a magazine, it was the Desmo of its time.

Knew I could count on you john, I thought they were english being made in Britain, obviously the guy couldn't spell as well

.

He said they were two stroke, one for each head, do you know if this is true?

Not sure how I am gonna mount to the number plate, I will ring Rizoma and see if they make a tidy tail.

Yeah, I had one of those, but I could never get parts for it. I sold it for $100. Could I have gotten more for it?

Are those true Britans?

I hope you are just playing a little joke on us.

Um that blue and pink one looks a little familiar.
