Bike zorst at the 2009 Calstock Bike Show

I don't know much about this bike beyond that I like it. Other show goers at this bash said the owner had a blue Mohican but that didn't really mark him out from the crowds at the show. It's obviously an engine from the oil cooled Suzuki GSXR family but it's got a rear rotor disc and very wide front fork yokes that suggest that a fatter front wheel will be appearing soon.

The tail end looks so clean. It's just a back wheel and a startling wheel arch - not so much a hugger as a mugger. Very arch (where arch is an adjective - clever, sly, mischievous, roguish.)



But what really makes this bike stand out for me is the exhaust. Bystanders assured me that it wasn't as loud as it looks although it could never be said to be quiet. Anyway, loud pipes save lives.

This is a custom zorst made by someone who knows how to make a proper job snake pit of pipes in a new place.

Enegine Punk - because it looks illegal when it's really just challenging preconceptions.
