This ALSO INCLUDES ECU DIAGnostic software, questions and mapping. We work very hard to offer commercially supported products and to keep info relevant here. First offense is a note, second is a warning, third time will get you banned from the site. We don't have the time to chase repeat (and ignorant) offenders. This is NOT a social media platform; It's an ad-free, privately funded website, in small help with user donations.

Beautiful!! But Mr. Gilbert has decided to never start the bike or ride it? What a frigging waste. Machinery was not made to sit like jewelry - it was and is made to function. Guy goes to all that touble and expense and just looks at it?? So very sad.
I know/agreed. When Virgil/Solvang got his replica back in late '03, there was originally talks of me racing it at a few select AHRMA events. Never came to be. It sits in his Museum now, though he has taken it to Willow Springs Vintage days and lit it off a few times.
Pic of it from earlier this year (that's a spare crankshaft on the floor by the front wheel);

I agree 100%. Same reason my 1000S had 900 miles on it when I bought it in 1999, but has 75,000 miles now. meant to be ridden, nothing but a waste if not.
Yeah, a friend of mine has/had (he just sold it) a Bimota DB1SR (one of seven I understand) that when he bought had near zero miles on it. It sat in his office for a while but eventually he got it tagged and rode it quite a bit. Not a great road bike but like any bike best enjoyed from the saddle.
