CMM is building NEW LC,s !

[steven]

Hi,
I got my copy of Classic Motorcycle Mechanics magazine last night as usual from the local shop.
If you read the magazine, you will know that they do a retro reboot thing each month and make up pictures of what older bikes might look like if they were released today.

They did one of an RD 350 LC which seemed to get a lot of responses a few month back.
I read in this months magazine (Dec Issue) that they are actualy going to build these "modern" 350 Lc,s and are asking in the magazine if anyone wants to buy one, once they finish it next year.

I like the pics too and they look great, but according to the magazine, they are actualy going to build these modern LC,s using various parts, and sell them to whoever wants one.

A very interesting article and well worth a read.

Well better get on fleaby and buy up parts, cos as soon as they start, it's BANDWAGON time. Can't see a magazine building more than one though? but I don't get the magazine.

£8-10K for a hybrid anyone? lets see who stumps up then, and comes up with the cash if it goes ahead. I remember the quotes, 'I'll have one of them if they remade them'

S1000R or 350LC for same price, I know what I'd prefer

Thumbs up if it goes ahead, but very few would be made, would be my guess??

it will be a one off bike ,the mag will have the write ups of the progress for 6 plus months .then when its finished there will be the road test and it will shown off at one of the shows.we will see eh.good luck to them though .

I think it's a great idea I hope they pull it of . But just like dean Metmachex if they are doing one they may fined it as simple to build 2 or 3 . Deans are well trick with loads of custom stuff made by him wheels dry clutch carbon panels etc so they will have to do something pretty good to out do his bikes. But they may be gowing for more of a as yam would do it bike and not make it tricked out but new moden and better as in the mock up pic they show . We will have to see.

When I got my LC project this was what I had planned.

Bought a couple of cheap tail units to practice fitting the indicators into wings on the side of the tail. Like Gammas.
Mt03 headlight. Then I changed my mind.

Wonder if they are going to use fuel injection as stated in the write up?

I looked into that too.

Looks like an interesting project but jesus, they have to use a different headlight!
