Hesketh Sonnet cafe racer

English fledgling company making small amount of bikes. thoughts?

oh yeah, and that's a 2.4 litre engine. small detail, not really worth mentioning.

Needs a 21" rear wheel.

I quite like that from an engineering point of view, though something tells me it will handle like an elephant on rollerskates. The styling… not such a fan.

The title Cafe Racer is used to easily these days, builders call almost anything with clip-ons and a seat cowl a Cafe Racer, the bike above is more like a muscle bike… Wait a minute my Falco has a rear cowl and clip-ons , cool…I love my Aprilia Falco Cafe Racer. Anyway, I love the whole custom, brat, cafe thing so see you at The Bike Shed 

Is it just me or does it look disproportionately long?

I wonder how long before it goes the same way as its predecessor?

That's what you get when you squeeze in a 2.4l engine, conveniently 0.1l bigger than the Triumph Rocket III, coincidence?
