TVR to build abike....

[Mariner]

According to MCN, TVR are looking at building bikes! Where do I put my deposit? Having previously owned a TVR I like the thinking behind them....radical looks and POWER, lots of it! This could be an exciting project for them, my only concern is build quality, or lack of it. Things tend to fall off TVRs at speed, whilst entering a sprint competition I had the gear stick come off in my hand! Whilst it is inconvenient having something fall off a car, it could be fatal on a bike! Still the good thing with TVR is they persevere with good old traditions, not much in the way of driver aids, they still refuse to fit ABS or traction control.
You never know, Chaz Davies in MotoGP on a TVR has a certain appeal! :D

Humm, Not sure it's that easy to just build a bike, but I hope to be proved wrong! A mad looking red/green/gold/purple bike could be fun!

V. interesting. Good to see the patriots will have a "serious" choice other than Truimph for a British bike :)

The story didnt mention the bloke who owns TVR,

The Russian bloke who has loads of Lada engines to shift :P

Power to weight ratio of a Lada compared to a bike chassis must make this a winner........

no MCN did it's usual, Big picture of two radical bikes,and palmed us off with them being "their interpretation".

the pictures are nothing to do with the company.

how to make a rumour into a cover story and a two page spread.

Cheers Mark.
