wacky idea question (Read 123 times)

Love the engine, wish the bike was a little bigger.

Manufacturers of pedal bicycles build the same model on different size frames for different size people. It should not be that difficult for motorcycle manufacturers to do the same. Exact same motorcyles except for a slightly longer/shorter frame. Build the stretch into the front where the forks attach and/or lengthen the rear where is seat is. Maybe a slightly larger/longer seat as well to keep the spaces filled.

When Cafe ala Carte gets done it will be a Savage engine in a cafe frame/bike.
