Today i was up at Donni with a few of the lads, was a strange day for bikes, i think maybe because it was a ‘noisy day’ so people were unleashing all the noise and all the bikes they can’t usually ride,
Everything from R1M’s to 1199R’s, then RC30s, RC45’s and RGV500’s along with another dozen 2 strokes, then a couple of highly regarded pieces of kit like a RCV990, the £150,000 Honda GP rep bike, damn that made a noise
However, we also found this thing.

Evrything on the bike was perfect, not just a little bit nice, but PERFECT, there wasn’t a nut, bolt or fastener that wasn’t 100% right, every little bracket wasn’t just a random piece off the garage floor, but was a custom designed and CNC’d piece made for function, looks and perfection.
Forks were stunning, big stickers on stating they were Ohlins R&D forks and not for road use. The calipers were a work of art.
Blokey apparently makes the frames from a 500kg piece of aluminium and it’s then carved out, into a 170kg wet weighted bike. The engine is a WSB spec Yamaha R1 big bang engine with Motec electrics, Quickshifter, traction control, auto blipper etc. He was trying out the Magnesium wheels instead of the usual carbon ones and trying metal discs instead of carbon.
It was just the most amazing piece of kit
