That's the tubby fella from fast bikes, he's raced it for the last two years, the rules state your not allowed to change the swingarm, he did a write up where he put a daytime mot on it and took it for a spin on the road. Luverly looking bike... :thumbup:

just looked at ryan's tt bike, and yes it has a more fancy swingarm, but I'm sure I read that the bike that in the photo used a standard swinger for some reason, if you read it has been modified.
