I dont know if theyre selling these or just a design exercise, but check the bikes out on Mac's website! brilliant!

Just reading the bit for contacting us, there is a poll as to which is the best or favourite of the bikes and it poses the question which will make it to the workbench first..

MCN did an article on them back on 2009..

What spares ..... looks as though somebody's already had them

Nice though ..... though if I were stripping one down that much, I'd make a Blue Marlin rep

"We" do! I'd take that as is ... oh maybe add little padding!

Same for me Andy, although nothing wrong with this version
Still like to see an HRD/Vincent rep with a V60 motor, (well a tongue in cheek version).

Saw this on a calendar at work today. A quite pretty RSV.

Available in kit form for around £7000 plus donor bike. Oh, and you'll have to build it yourself.

Is it just me, or does that just add to to the appeal?

I find the idea of an RSV donor bike somehow comforting but I'd have to buy a set of precision hammers.

Also what would you put on the tank? Norape seems dubious.

Or, more accurately since the engine is actually made by Rotax, Rotton

How about Notax. It would fit in quite well where I live.
