Newstalgic
Well that is what I think best describes josh hoffines new bike.
At a first glance it doesn't look like more than another streetfighter,
but it is more to it than meets the eye.
With inspiration taken from the nostalgic racers of the 60's such as Triumph, BSA and Norton, he has created a bike that stands out. The combination of colors and graphics on the bike (the graphics are painted and not decals) makes it look really good and stand out from the crowd.
It makes you wonder, how much is done to the bike then?
Well quite a lot if you ask the builder.
Among other things is the Yoshimura built engine, the headlight and the pazzo race levers. All things summoned up makes it a nice looking bike,
The build took about six months on and of after work and on weekends, now at the age of 28 josh has built 3 other bikes, among them a 1965 triumph. Maybe that is why he has the eye to make this modern bike into something that doesn't even come close to a nostalgic racer, but even so, makes the viewer think about them.
And if you look at the bike and think that nothing is rebuilt, well think again. Look at the specs for the bike and the build pictures, and you will see that there is a whole lot of thought put in to this bike.
