I found that on a french website. They used V-Twin, have the oil in the swingarm, and the streetfighter version look like a XB12S with is 2 spot, windscreen, exhaust under the bike and very small tail section. They are prototype and they will use Voxan or Aprilia RSV 1000 engine. http://www.leblogmoto.com/2005/10/boxer_ssr_1000.html      | ||

I like that exhaust.. gives me some ideas!!!! overall a nice looking bike | ||
| Stou |
Yes the exhaust is very nice. I also like the handlebar, clip-on over the triple clamp, look good. | ||
| Firemanjim |
Clip on over the triple clamp--wonder where I've seen that before??? S-2 maybe?? But those ones are sure purty. | ||
| Keys |
I love it. I need to forget I saw it though... | ||

Looks like some kind of data screen on the dash board. A very sexy machine to say the least. The best thing to come out of France since Bridget Bardot!} | ||
| Cataract2 |
Nice looking, but I think I'll stick with the original. | ||
| Crusty |
It doesn't do anything for me. It's a little too "styled". What's the advantage of having 1/4" thick aluminum exhaust pipes? | ||
| Midknyte |
They look like Yahamaha or Suzuki prototypes... | ||
| Rocketman |
I like the mirrors. They might look good on a S1! Rocket | ||
| Slowride |
Yesiree! The exhaulst is the best idea on the bike. Any Fabs out there want to pony up a knock off? I would sure buy one of those! | ||
| Ghostrider |
The only problem with a French Streetfighter is that when you get it up to the line, it coughs up a little cheese and gives up. | ||
| Biker_bob |
also if the French bike sees a German bike coming towards it you know it's going to surrender! | ||
| Rocketman |
More racism on the BadWeB? Rocket | ||
| Biker_bob |
That's not racism that's "nationalism" the French are not a race. | ||
| Brucelee |
"the French are not a race." True, and they can't even win their "own" race, the Tour de Lance! | ||
| Buellfighter |
Yeah Lance joked about the doping accusations and said if they didn't back off he would come out of retirement and kick their ••• again! | ||
| Dago |
Reminds me of the KTM RC8. Beautiful bike. | ||
| Brucelee |
BTW-I like the naked version of this bike. Hope it runs better than the last Renaults to grace our American shores. Remember the "Le Car" | ||
| Oddbawl |
My first car was a LEE-Car. (don't ask, my dad set me up with it for cheap, I always knew he hated me) Quelle enorme merde. When it tried for a final surrender one brisk February evening, I just smashed out all the windows and reported it stolen. Shoulda set fire to it while I was at it. | ||
| Rocketman |
I also remember when we had French people contributing to the BadWeB. Rocket | ||
| Superbee24 |
Dang rocketman, you sure are sensative today. Hope the rest of your life gets better. Hope you had a great Christmas, Kwansa, Hannaka, Festivus or whatever it is you celebrate and Hope you have a WONDERFUL NEW YEAR. | ||
| Rocketman |
I'm having a wonderful holiday, as I'm sure the French and the Taliban are. Ah, that's better. A little balance brought to the festive BadWeB.  Rocket | ||
| Ghostrider |
I don't think the Taliban have a holiday this time of year. And if they did, I would send them one of these season's greetings:  So how about them apples? | ||
| Brucelee |
"And if they did, I would send them one of these season's greetings: " Make that two! | ||
| Tramp |
Remember who trained and organized the Taliban. (hint: it wasn't the french) and, actually, the descendants of the gallic tribes can be construed as a 'race'. i remember the 'le car', as well as I remember the chevy vega and the amc matador. remember the peugot 505? | ||
| Buellin_ri |
Yeah but that was to fight the commies. I hope we do not have any communist Bad Webbers.... | ||
| Tramp |
...and why did the commies even want afghanistan, again? | ||
| Brucelee |
"...and why did the commies even want afghanistan, again" I always wondered about that too! | ||

maybe they needed the dope. | ||

I watched an interesting Discovery show about this very topic a few days ago. The reason the Soviets gave for the invasion was to take out the terrorist-supporting government that had just three months prior, overthrown the Marxist government (installed by the Soviets of course). They said they had evidence that a terrorist attack within the Soviet Union had been carried out by Afghans at the direction of their new government. Obviously the Soviets had political and economic reasons for the invasion, but the terrorist attack was the impetus. | ||
| Hootowl |
An interesting side note... The Islamic government came to power after the citizens of Afghanistan became outraged over the Soviet policies concerning women. Apparently, the Soviets were teaching women how to read. |
