we do, we don't stop dreaming though!
to be honest there must be a very willing international market for them, because i cant imagine the costs of designing and building these things for such a comparatively tiny market.

Man, if I ever win the lottery....
This, the TSS500....

There are more cool unique ways to build a sweet two-stroke street bike than I can trow my wallet at.

No details on the engine. Is Mick adding some kind of power valve to the Banshee engine, or is it the same unridable on-off switch we've seen before?

Titanium pipes! Sweet!!! :smt004

Why does Mick use titanium for street pipes? From what I've read, it's not a good idea - but I'd still like a set! :smt003

I don't see the components list. Is the frame a full custom, or modified production frame? Custom bodywork, or from another bike? Also curious what the final weight will be.

Looks like an extremely solid engine/frame combo...but rather ugly. (Sorry, but I know performance is more important.)

Can't wait to see more of this.

It's most likely a cheetah pv top end and a +10mm (64mm) crank.
