Looks like it could stop on a sixpence

 

I've always been interested in Buells, they had some real innovation in their time. Super steep rake angle and mega short wheelbase(!) Oil in the frame for packaging and the rim mounted disks allowed for a lightweight front wheel as the braking forces are transmitted directly to the rim and tyre..such a shame the company didn't keep going...

 

I'm thinking any replacement discs, wheels, calipers or pads are either unobtanium or ludicrously expensive.

 

Harley did them in, I really liked them. Haven't they resurrected in some form?

Off to Google.

 

Caliper is a Nissin ZTL2 with 8 (yes, eight) pistons.

 

It's been a while since I've seen one... but wasn't it a single disc front wheel?

 

Yes, 375 mm in diameter. Which is huge.

 

Starck Aprilia 6 5:

 

A very under rated bike!

 

Was just googling about seeing what sort of prices these go for, which seems to be around the 5 grand mark, and landed on this advert where the original owner was Mel C of the spice girls. Not sure if that bumps up it's value & I'm sure there must be a joke in there somewhere...
