It might be ugly but has won a shed load of awards all over Europe. You need to see it in the flesh to see the fine detail. Have seen the owner putting in some fast laps at Mallory Park circuit too! So it handles!!

I was wondering the rideability and geometry. Pics that chain looks slack... And the seat.... Ouch!

It's definitely ugly duckling but the engineering and craftsmanship behind it is amazing! It's unique!
I'm wondering about that clutch slave cylinder, it's sleek

As somebody who does cad and cnc work, I must add that the cost of machining alone.... Does the article say anywhere total machining time? I didnt see.

Why what? Want to do something extreme? Get honda's most extreme engine and build a new bike for it.

I got a kick reading picture captions. Custom one off... Custom one off... Machined... One off... Keihin carbs... One off....

Larry Houghton builds bikes for a living so they have to be good or better!

Takes a skilled artisan/builder to build something people can appreciate even if they dont like. The only beef I have with design is the straight pipe exhausts. Never ever seen a set aside from a full on drag race vehicles where I think looks/sounds/performs well. And those cases only cause they run full throttle or none.
