Is it just me (or perhaps an optical illusion); but don`t the wheels seem too small for that bike? :-/

Don't like the chopper style :P :P :P
My last bike was a Honda CB750 Nighthawk, basically a retro CB750, I put a screen on it and a couple of spots, American style. Lovely bike, wish I still had it :'(

Probably a 120/70-17 on the front and 180 or 190/55-17 on the rear. Pretty much standard sports bike fitment (R1, Blade, Gixers etc).
An off-road jobbie would have a 19" or 21" on the front, except for a Super-Moto which would look like an off-roader but with sports bike wheels and tyres (usually a 160/60-17 on the rear).

I saw this Bike today its really nice.
There is a bloke across the road from us who has one of these Rockets. They are 3 cylinder 2300cc. It has straight through pipes on it, you should here it when he kicks it up, sound like a hotrod :o he has also had it sprayed up at Dream Machine in the Union Jack Colours and it loks brilliant. He bought it from new £15,000 it has cost him :o

He also has a Jota, that is a lovely bike too :y

I hope you guys are not trying to pick on me ::) ::) ::)

That second link is an iffy site, you might want to take it out. I had to shut down and restart, it just keeps opening the link, again and again and will not stop. I cot a flag this time to say is is a suspicious websited, phissing or something like that.

Can you still ride a Trike/Motorbike and sidecar of any engine size on a provisional car license?

Very much doubt it, rules have been tightened up a lot.

Even when i passed in 2001, i could not ride any motorbike and was limited to 7.5 Ton for trucks.
