I can't really remember another bike in the past 5 years that has created as much media stir as the Husqvarna Vitpilen 701. From the initial concepts to the final production machine there has always glowing praise for the Swedish …Even though it seems like a lifetime ago since these concepts were first released, seeing these bike in the flesh still still manage to bring out that initial excitement.

Finished up this build at the end of the year, with this being my only ride I was pretty happy to finally get it back on the road. Think I'll spend some time riding this around now over summer, with …Beta-MAX named after the Video Cassette player of the same name.

The build is nearing completion after getting the seat back from the upholsterers. As always they did a fantastic job, I'm stoked every time I get seats back from them.

Weekend was busy adding some final touches to Tonka, here are some pics I took of her.You can read more about it over on the.

The seat build for the Tonka build has come to an end with the leather work completed this week.The construction was fairly simple with a fibreglass base with steel locators glassed into the base.

I had the original intention of documenting this build on video but as it turns out doing this requires charged batteries and new memory cards. Two things that I didn't have at the time I started working on the bike.
