I had a black shadow back in the 60's. Even by todays standards, that thing was faaaaasst

But.... It's got a Honda engine.

Looks really great though.

I remember a company called Healey industries in the late 70's made a "New Ariel Square 4" looked great solved most of the problem associated with the original but price and spares backup meant only a handful ever reached the general public.

Hopefully a similar fate does not await this venture.

That's a nice machine Nuke..except for the forks which are from Japan.

Anyone else notice they have the 502 listed as a SOHC 4valve motor? Should be listed as a cam in block 2 valve...
