What an improvement.
Although like the original, this may also not work?

But, it seems to have a hexhead motor and GS sideplates? Kind of cool nonetheless.

Looks like it should be in the Robocop movies.

Not sure what you mean about the original not working. It worked; the problem to me was more along the line of it being an answer to a question no one had asked (or should).

That's what I meant. It worked quite well, but it didn't work. :geek:

There was a guy around town that had one of those 1200C bikes and he made it loud. Now, THERE'S something that doesn't work! At least before he made it loud it was a motorcycle. Since it's loud, it's a nuisance AND it's corny looking.
