Vandalism or Progress?

[Antarctic Boy]

Not sure if I've managed to copy the link in properly - but someone has converted a KH250 into an electric version and wants £20k for it on eBay - have to admire the ingenuity but something that looks like a triple but isn't a triple ain't for me especially at that price!

during Middle-age heretics were burnt alive, time to put this nice tradition again in use
BTW have you noticed the name of this heretic

[malc87]

Its certainly different!

It's SImon Whitelock's latest bike project, it was at the Southern rally this year and as usual there is a good deal of very competent work gone into the build..

There's a video of RB riding it somewhere on the T'interweb.

Pure brilliance from Simon. We need people like him. Love it.

I am with JP.
Burn him at the stake, didn't realise that was still possible in this country

A bit of fun, but very well executed

Beautifully finished. Did he add extra width into the tank, seat and tailpiece?

Yes, there are some fabrication pics in the eBay ad

Simon is also thinking of selling his 48 cylinder again. Only £100k and it's yours....

Obviously built when you couldn't give KH250 engines away

Mavericks like Simon make the world interesting.
I wish more people would cut up their KH250s

Totally agree. I can't believe how many people are crying on FB about ruining a classic bike
.

[malc87]

I think its great.
I would love to own it but not at 20K

[Hal]

People don't realise he didn't cut up any bike at all. He assembled the various pieces from the stash of parts he has lying around.

Do I detect a little bit of triple "racism" or perhaps snobbery? Okay to cut up KH250s would that still apply if the electric bike was an H1 or H2....

Just being devils advocate and stoking the fire of this thread! People can do what they like with their stuff.

There are probably more H1/H2 specials than anything else.
