SACRILEGE!

Sorry Rosie, but I don't agree. There's no balance there, the back end just doesn't match the front, the square gauge set is way out of whack with the round headlight, curved tank.
Those disks and front forks are way oversized for the thin, almost delicate tubular frame.... and dare I say it, grossly over engineered for a 50 kw motor.


Sorry, but that's a Franken-Ville, a Bonne-Hyde, a Jeckle-T100
ewww.. must go look at some classic bike mags to sooth my eyes...

Mum... MUM.. they raped a Bonneville



But each to their own ideas, I gotta say i admire the craftmanship

Here's a direct "google translation" of that forum post:

A special original signed by Roberto Totti, who has an engine almost forty sbarazzina and a line that makes him want to winding mountain.

Realizzata in un pezzo unico, ha anche il navigatore

Made in one piece, also the navigator

Roberto Totti (Totti Engines Roberto Totti) is one who likes to work on bikes that have character.

British or American, German or Italian, like those that have a history, those are hard to find and that only a few "educated" specialists dare you to put your hands.

On them, the preparer Bologna spends his nights: studying ideas and processes that often lead to results original, even irreverent, but always with deep awareness.

As this Homage T 140, in a modern reinterpretation of a Triumph T140 of 1962.

This special, built in 2006 for the collector Stephen Possati, required six months of hard work and long searched to find the right accessories and assess the best solutions.
Nothing was left to chance or found with faciloneria: the direction indicators are of English Oberon, the tank comes from a Triumph T 120, and 1968 platforms and carbon reservoirs are made by hand.
The saddle was made by hand from Ferraresi upholstery designed by Totti is opaque Black leather-Grey and well matches the livery Red Running with which you have chosen to characterize the T 140 Homage.

Of course, working without major restrictions budget has its advantages, not least of which is to try to the best of available instrumentation, for example, consists of a complex system that Garmin, equipped with suitable sensors for the tank, engine and front wheel, assumes the role of navigation system but also speedometer, tachometer and indicator of the level of fuel.

Along with it, to the delight of smanettoni, a shift Lighter LED light.

You can kinda make some sense out of that...

Nice fighter. Reminds me of this:



If you dig this sort of stuff Rosie, there's literally hundreds of them over at AuStreetFighter, along with a community of dudes who know all there is to know about making custom fighters. Amazing blokes.
