with all your prior fabrication knowledge and skills you are definitely a prime candidate for having the nicest midbike here.

I know that bike, The guy who owns it is a member on another forum I belong to. He just had the motor redone by TCR in CA. Nice bike and a nice guy selling it. Lots of cool rare parts there.

what forum is that if i may ask, it truly is a nice looking bike, a true trophy of a bike. $3300-$3500 is a steep price, but then again it needs nothing but a driver.

I know it sounds like im just saying get an x18 just because i have one haha im not though. But Btroxl i think the best bike for you is the x18 only because i know your gonna wanna drop a bigger engine in there and the x18's frame is a little better for that(correct me if im wrong)... Otherwise get the x15. To me those are the 2 best bikes if your going to do do an extreme build. Good luck and welcome to the madnessthumbsup2

Stay away from the X22 wave_finger chassis is to short but has a nice swingarm or at least mine did. X18 has the best parts hung on the frame but the X15 has the better frame. X15 swingarm is crap but it can be worked with although I can see you have no problem building one.

I currently have an x-15 which is the replica of the Benelli Tornado full size. but i really want a x-12 which are hard to come by and only come auto, but who cared b/c i will drop the new engine.

by the way : the x-18 frame does not have a support under the motor and from what i would think is more prone to bending especially with a larger engine, anyways i recommend re-welding those weak looking spots all over the bike.


and remember for the best deals always check craigslist/local classifieds. people practically throw away these bikes when they do not appreciate them.
