It's work of art. In the words of Ian Dury, there ain't 'arf some clever b*stards..

Yep. That bike is a beaut. Was lucky enough to join with it on it's first proper ride out. Great fun, lots of noise and more power than my A10! Lots of oil going everywhere. The owner has been on quite a journey to get THE BEAST on the road. Hope to be out with again on the beast of dartmoor rally soonish.

interesting concept for a cafe racer, Panthers had a great reputation for torque, not much of a rev machine, why so many sidecar units used them....maybe he wanted to give the Vincents a challenge, it certainly looks the part!
