Needs a hand shift and foot clutch to finish it.

I like it. But my guess is that it runs like shit with that manifold. It probably needs some heat to those long runners.
Call me Mel. Some years ago- never mind how long precisely- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me at home, I thought I would ride about a little and see the other parts of the world.

More than likely, it's just for show anyway and never actually gets ridden. Another clue it's just a poser: where's the battery?

There is that fabricated panel below the tranny, if you blow it up you can see what looks like a ignition switch there, maybe a tiny battery next to it.

Yeah, you could hide a Lithium battery in there, no problem.

I like the thing. I wouldn't want it, but I like looking at it.

Tidy, but corny. Just one man's opinion.

It does have a high level of finish but I'd rather watch one of ME 109's youtube videos. It's not the bike. It's the ride. Or, in my case, yes; it's the bike but not without the ride. Whew!
