Achi Studio

GI has an allergy to Supermotards with their 17" 'shopping trolley wheels', but I think this cross-over based on a Suzi SV650 is a very healthy compromise. BP

    That's really cool!

    Although the width of the frame rails will probably make the tank quite wide and fat looking.

    Are there any more sketches of it in different angles?

    I robbed this photo from Otto Nero as one in a series with no other angles and no extra info. I'm guessing its a Photoshop build. I tried to Google for 'Achi' but to no avail..

    OK, I see. I was just curious!

    Yes, it looks like a photoshop design but I was hoping that they had made some more.

    More SB FT project updates soon? Yes please! :-)

  4. I think Marcus hit the spot there with his width-comment.

    I've dreamed up various multi-cylinder (and big twin) alu frame/motard mutants, but when I see a donor bike in the flesh, it always strikes me how wide "perimeter" frame rails are...

  5. i always thought you could do a fuel in the frame job on em, then just have a dummy tank on there. preferably with room for 2 massive k&n's to poke out into the sunlight aswell!!.
