In the Barry Sheen video why didn't the Author show any footage of Barry later in life? He was a much loved commentator for many years in my own country of Australia 🌏 and the country he moved to and lived in. He gave expert commentary on all bike and car racing (world wide) on Channel TEN every week right up till his death and was a very modern TV personality, your 'dated' footage of him makes him look ancient 😢 He was loved and respected even more as he matured and still looked very young at his passing. He was also still riding racebikes and racing cars as well. I still can't believe it's been 20+ yrs since we last heard from him, or saw his cheeky and lovable grin. He always lifted the hearts of anyone who watched him, and is why I have tears for him right now. All of Australia loved him which is why it was such a shock when he died so young and full of life 😅 I felt this had to be said since he played such a huge role in our country decades after what he was known for. Hopefully this comment will at least add something to the story, especially since so many of his friends got together to make such a bike as a tribute to him... thanks for the memories Barry😀😀😀 will never forget 💙

€300000!? The wraith and the arch bikes don't go for that. Though they have s&s engines the machining alone is expensive and more than this. But price is driven by the buyer. Damn good bike though.
Id like to build a turbine electric bike, use a small turbine engine burning gas, diesel, kerosene, veg oil, and can be set up for byrning waste oil, And propane the turboshaft engine spinning a generator or motor generator, with a 30 kw motor as well as a 20 kw hub motor and 20 kwh battery, with a 3-5 ah 12v battery, with the option of a front 20kw hub motor, for extra acceleration, with 70kw of motor, 60-65 kw generator the battery making up the difference. And starting the engine. The batteries reducing turbine Lag. The turbine idle at roughly 20% of available rpm. And throttle response coming from battery until the engine spins up. Then recharge the battery. Using a small 2-3 stage turbine produce upto 100-130 kw , with up to 150 kw of motors using battery to allow full power! But in reality it would probably be a 600 cc gas engine and generator. With 20-40 kw hub motors, and battery around 10 kwh.
Crowdfunding? Are people still that gullible? 13 years and two were made, guess some rich turd will buy one for the exclusivity. Riding position looks pretty radical for a street bike though? It's one thing to be stretched out and low but sitting upright with a high CoG does not inspire confidence at low speed or in traffic in my experience
You jump in the cage(car) and you drive. In an airplane you fly. If you go out on your pushbike you RIDE. You ride motorcycles not drive. I like your stuff but ride ride ride.. Wobbels the mad Aussie.
One thing I don't understand is why almost all of these home made project bikes don't have fairings ..... surely the creator can design something to cover the front .

Brilliant work and story telling .. an inspiration.
Excellent documentary where you can let your mind wander as your taking it all in.

I think they just like showing off their mechanical vision for the bike. Why cover art? But I understand where your coming from and agree to an extent
fairings are overrated
