I was going through my spares collection and I think I've just about got enough bits to build a bike lying about in my shed (and with a little help from ebay).
I've got this far over the weekend (its all in the preparation apparently)
Hopefully I should have it done in a couple of months - can anyone guess what it is yet?

Hmmm...
Some sort of Yamaha delta-box frame thing?
It's the V-twin thing. There's just something about it that inline-4s don't have at all, and V-4s don't have enough of.

some kind of trial bike thingie
Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

At the moment its a doorstop, but planning on getting the forks / swingarm / shock / wheels in this weekend. I'm trying to clean up / strip all the parts before it goes back together, but I'm not sure I've got the patience to make it immaculate and that would probably be a waste of time anyway.
I have a running engine to go in - still needs a bit of work though.
Viking is right with the make.
