This
bike was built and own by American David Zemla from California .It was a complete
ground up rebuild and redesign . It took 2 years to build Meticulous care was
taken in every stage of it's construction .He has removed over 4 poundsof metal
from the frame .All new fairing brackets were then welded to it for the new
look fairing . It now weighs 136 kg , and puts out 65 BHP .from a mild tune
just to peek it up a bit and leaving it reliable .So far David has never had
anyone who could identify the origin of the bike , and it's not surprising .
