I like that!!
Brit Jap hybrids are cool-as I reckon. Personally, I did have thoughts of squeezing an old Norton 600cc twin lump into the DR chassis if the motor went pop. And then supermoto-ing it. But the engine isn't terminal, just rattly!!
My NorDR would admittedly have no power, but it would be a nice noise, and the only way to get a new "norton" given recent repeated disasters. Also, I've always facied on the "Desert Sled" Nortons. I reckon it'd be a good update on the idea!!
Would have to lengthn the chassis to get the 'box in too, but it was pretty rotten, so no big deal....
