Nice.
That crankcase cover looks a little Jawa'ish.
Just imagine the work involved in the exhaust alone.

I love stuff like that, it's utterly pointless but a marvel of engineering at the same time. Brilliant

What a find!

Total and utter madness, I love it.

“It’s a life-threatening experience. It accelerates faster than it brakes. But it’s fun…you have to pay attention all the time, otherwise you could end up in a ditch after opening throttle.” from the article.

Don't most midsized and up bikes accelerate quicker than they stop???
Not as pronounced with drum brakes on that maybe though... 

I tried to explain how a bike feels 0 to 60 to a non riding friend.
Eventually got through to him by asking if he had ever done an emergency stop in his car from 60 , and how did that feel?
I said my ( then bike ) Fazer 1000 feels like that,  but accelerating to 60 quicker than his Fiesta  stopped from 60.........Mind blown   

Not sure that applies to  CRF 250 Rally's .....
