Yes, It is true. They have been around for a couple of years now. I vapour blasted some engine cases for them back then.

Yep, I know these chaps building these bike from elsewhere in the 2-stroke world and they are true gents. Hopefully it will work out for them and they can get them rolling out. I'd get them pipes swept up a bit more if it were me  |

nice bikes but very expensive and I haven't seen any about except from them showing them at shows and not seen any this year or last thought theyd packed it in.

May as well build your own hybrid to the spec you want. For 20k I would rather have a standard 500lc and an rg500, or even get a VDue and 4LO.
Not one for me.

Yeah, I think it's fair to say that most on here (including myself) would spend £20k a bit differently (if we had it !)   |

and that aint it... is my feeling. Different strokes for different folks I guess, but Ive never 'got' that look. Must be an age thing LOL!
Arronmvrider is building a 443 in a ypvs frame that will have enough of that style but will be less 70s, and while its not been cheap he will have a fair portion of change from £20k.

I read all the posts before looking at the bike..... I for one am very pleasantly surprised how beautiful it looks. Smashing bike. But at 20k I fear sales will be very low......

Mr Peabody: Set the Wayback Machine for 1973
Ran TZ350's for Yama . then.
WHY? would one want one now? Most similar sized 'Current' street bikes would leave a TZ350 fer Dead..pretty well Anywhere /Anyplace.
Nifty toy for a few Bob but at 20K? A Fool's game imo

I agree with the comments above. For 20k you could take your pick of fully restored classic strokers like an H2 or an exotic Italian classic like a Moto Guzzi 750s3 and still have change for a tasty LC.

Very nice but I agree with those who said they can think of better ways to spend that sort of cash.

commendable that someone has done it but the price is a real killer, id rather build another hybrid myself, Athena 420 and rs250 front and rear would look darn nice and go just as well or better me thinks.

I couldnt do the pipes for them as I was to busy so I designed them and Mick Abbey built them. They wanted some in stainless after the article so I booked them in and they didnt turn up  |

They should be congratulated for their mission statement though.
Sums up what most of us would want, but £20K? Can't see many of these selling.

We have a Hesketh here in Cayman at the Ugland motor museum..but can't get a ride on it though ..also the original Batmobile and the First ever Mercedes built amongst other notables...but seriously who does the frame for the Peregrine ? .looks very similar to a featherbed , particularly around the head stock and top rails.... just more raked.. guess they are a dead duck by now?

a bike like that, whether a peregrine (?) or a home built hybrid/tz replica is still a worthwhile bike to have, still quicker than a lot of current road bikes round a twisty road or race track when well ridden, one of the bike mags did a comparison test about three years ago between a NSR250 and the latest one litre bikes and there was only one of the one litre bikes (kawasaki if I remember right) that could set a faster lap than the NSR250 and that was damned close, the NSR was quicker than the rest !
