- Knitted carbon-fibre wheels, 3D printed titanium footpegs, 300 hours of 5-axis machining...
The @praga_cars ZS800 is a truly remarkable motorcycle, but the story of its conception, is every bit as good. Check out our video from when Praga visited the Shed, and Gareth got to take the ZS for a quick spin... - Auta a dopravní prostředky
That is a beauty, I love the story behind it
Sound and camera quality has gotten better with this. Keep them coming guys. Not my style of bike but cool to see.
It's a work of art/engineering. Not form over function but form AND function! Fab!
Beautiful machine ⛽️
So beautiful, it puts a tear in my eye! Its pure artwork and genius!
Cool Bike, very nicely done!
Very beautiful bike. These guys are artist!
That's a cracking looking bike. BRILLIANT.😁😁😁😁😁
Ive got the W800 Cafe w/ that engine! Great engine, work of Art!!! Weighs 100 lbs less than my W...WOW!
Wow! just wow , I want one !
i love the kawasaki w800 engine there really good engines
I like the bike. Wondering where it will sold.
Cool !
Yes
Good old Bohunk ingenuity.
So basically what we have is a W800 Kawa motor set inside a whole bunch of bells and whistles that the average person don't need and can't afford. Might as well go out and buy the Kawa and drop it into a custom hardtail with a girder front end. 81,000 pounds is a joke.
Awesome
A work of automotive art, a retro futuristic design - somewhat Steampunk. Probably horrendously expensive
Price?🤔
75k gbp.
100k USD approx. in Czech cost 2,5M CZK, more than Brough Superior...
świetne koła , szkoda że technicznie z tyłu zupłenie nie wykorzystane , wszak to sztywny tył . z przodu też nie za bardzo bo te bębny hamulcowe jakkolwiek piękne ( zapewne ważą więcej niż zaoszczędzono na wadze kół ) jak nawalili tyle tytanu w motocyklu to ciekawe czy zrobili cokolwiek dla silnika żeby sie kręcił wyżej niż seryjny ? tytanowe korby ? chociaż tytanowe zawory ? sądzę że pozostał seryjny . także motocykl ładny ale nie grywalny / słabo jeżdzalny
Who signed off on the headlight position? Apart from that, beautiful!
It recalls the acetyline headlights that bikes had before electric bulbs became reliable enough,
That pushrod tube is an eyesore use t140 motor. the chassis is epic!
Great looking bike. Good choice of motor.
But everything carbon to reduce weight also makes it insanely expensive. Those fenders really look bad. They look like ducks beaks. Carbon wheels, get a prob whit those and your really f....d along side the road. But than again the people who are going to get one of those bikes prob pay straight out of there wallet cash.
Not to piss anybody of, but they should make a poor man,s version of that bike. Ye know, normale steel wheels and spokes. No carbon. And the old style fenders. 40 kilo extra weight should not be a prob for the bike. After all the kawa w 800 is 225kg
I like the bike, the interviewee is sound. The interviewer is annoying.
Fair enough.
Kawasaki W800 Motor?
the front looks like it was in an accident 😵💫
Love it now make it 1800 cc's and take those bloody mufflers off of it.😊 Make my North American Heart get excited like that.
Lovely and at the price i sold my uk house for will be exclusive
3d printed titanium? Tsk, the world we live in! 😊
90,000$... I almost had an heart attack.
Not worth 100k w/ taxes. at most 30k.
Knitted carbon fiber. Can you make me a cardigan please?
Toyota did it first with the Lexus LFA. Toyota used to be a loom manufacturer until the 1930's where they tried to diversify their manufacturing portfolio by going into the automobile industry. They spent a billion dollars to build a mechanized loom that could weave carbon fiber structures for the LFA, something that hasn't really been done since at that scale and that's why Toyota/Lexus lost money on every LFA sold. It's been said that every LFA built cost Toyota nearly 400k USD, but they sold them to the public at a loss for 300k.
My bikes just like that🤔, well.....errrr....the rear indicators are the same as mine.🤗
So that is a Kawasaki W800 engine in it.
of course
100K? Not a 100K bike. At most 30k.
Drum brake ABS
it's a great look. Maybe the 'carbon' obsession went bit too far - as did the titanium. But. let's be honest, this is a one-off trophy. I do not believe, for one moment, this bike is available as a purchase for customers. Or ....are we actually saying, that if any rich-kid phones up and says money is no problem - then they will make another one? or five? or ten? In that regard it's a custom of a custom custom bike - available only to those who never look at any price. Therefore, it's interesting, it has some real beauty - but, that 's it.
Also, a shot of you going onto a street - and then back again to some ally entrance.... was pathetic. A teenager with a camera fone would have made a better job.🤥
Id prefer an NUT or a noble maybe even Raleigh over this, far more character. Theme bikes dont really interest me when the modern versions are chunky hulks.
The headlight is waaaaaaay too big.
It's so much out of proportion that it's ugly
Yeah, nah. Headlight off 19th century steam train. Fuel cap that cant be undone with gloves on. No rear suspension because its easier to make a spring seat.Ugly mix of modern and ancient design . Girder front ends finished in the 30s. Hydraulic brakes . Harley did that in the 60s.What a mess.Frame sections too thin and then the unfinished weld surfaces look odd. The vegetable strainer wheels covering the most dirt prone hubs ever made. How would you clean them?Harly WLA rear guard and front guard off a 70s trailbike. At that price its going straight in the front office never to see the road.Bit of eastern Europe Ural chopper vibe.
You drag your feet like a novice.
This bike exist only in 1-2 pieces. His problem is price. If you have 100k $ you can spend them much better for bike with real value and not for art on two wheels which will be "settled" in showroom for ever...
From the quality and engineering, I guess this beautiful machine is eye wateringly expensive, 🥲🥲🥲
Are you sitting down? Good. 81000 GBP.
