I see what you mean. Tacky central.
-
They like them like that in Japan. 😟
-
Price is quite :o for such a vee-hicle.
That poor little 400 four peeking out from so enthusiastic a colour scheme.
Surprises me that Yoshimura is all matt and heat dissipation type absolutely functional surface finishes, and so focused on outright performance. The signature hand bent and tucked in exhaust, absent. More Grayson Perry than tribute to Pops Yoshimura ;D

Hettie will be hiding away from that brash mess

Well it's not everyones cup of tea but then so are bobbers and cafe racers, horses for courses and all that. It's over priced I'll agree but then they tend to think all that work should be worth something and don't seem to remember that all that work isn't to everyones tastes. I'll bet it still sells though.
I would put a watch on ebay to see what is sells for but could not take looking at it more than once ;D

The handlebar fairing is from a CB250RS, they were I believe fitted by Honda as an option and were actually made by Honda in Japan (there's a sticker on the inside saying so). They were made from very thin plastic, didn't survive a drop and blow about in the breeze! They are very expensive if you can find one especially if the acrylic screen is undamaged. Anyway it's not a Mocheck Harrier fairing!
-
I am actually struggling to find anything on the bike that is Mocheck Harrier related? Apart from the 460 bore that anyone can have what is Mocheck about it? If it is a genuine Mocheck built bike where have all the original parts disappeared to?
-
Someone will probably buy it but it won't be me.
-
Lots of stuff on it were never anyway close to a Harrier, I saw them about when they were new, shocks and exhaust amonst the rest are "harrier fantasy".
-
At a glance it looks as though it has had a lot of money poured into it to make it look different - it's the kind of customisation I used to see at Matlock on a Sunday on all makes of bike.
Marmite bike for sure but the price seems a tad optimistic - I would have thought £6999 is more realistic - a small nich marketplace methinks.
-
I like a Mocvheck Harrier....
but that is not for me. So many things jar the look, like the blue swingarm and centre stand....or the large bulky exhaust. It might have Yoshimura on the end pipe, but it looks like it came off a much bigger bike.
Not my cup oif tea at all

Not my cup-of-tea back then either
-
112mph with just 40bhp and the aerodynamics of a house brick….remarkable? I had one new in 1978 and it could just about crack an indicated 95mph. I weighed about 10 and half stone back then.
-
A proper Harrier. Simple no fuss!

Actually, i would take it (and repaint the blue details to match the rest). Japanese style and i quite like the over the top 70`s - 80`s build. Not for that prize though. Iv seen mutch mutch mutch worse.
