Figure the genetics of this one ?

Drugs must have played a part.

The "made in England " is probably accurate

The EFI is something that I’d like to know more about.

There are a couple more pics on FB, I find it quite impressive. Reckon the builder wanted to show what Triumph/BSA SHOULD/could have produced, instead of their out-dated triples. I especially like how an alternator drive is incorporated in the classic Beesa timing cover.

At least it's a lot better looking than that horrible triple-in-a-featherbed-frame.

If that's an actual A10 timing cover then it's been heavily modified. Neatly done though.

Classy work. Amazing what some people can do.

The original is nicely symetrical, this one is a bit wonky... but also nice.

Any more pics of that?

Why does a search for "BSA Laverda hybrid" not find this? It must be fresh out of the printer mould.

i found it on TROC - Triumph Rocket 3 owners club - several suggestions of PS but also some comments that its real !

Let down a bit, I think anyway, by the poxy cone filters. After all that work, it isn't that hard to do an airbox

Thanks for that. Not my cup of tea but I love seeing stuff like this. Very nicely executed.

I dunno. I reckon the poxy air filters suit the poxy BSA vibe.
Not sure that Piero Laverda would be impressed by a Laverda engine being labelled BSA though.

Needs a BSA Spitfire tank.

Needs a BSA Spitfire tank.

I think there's enough weird stuff going on with things like hose routing and detail around the engine mounts to suggest it's real and not photoshoppe. Either way it's good work, if it's photoshop they did the reflection of the cam cover in the tank nicely!
If it's real then I dip my hat for lovely execution but like others I'm confused as to the point. Surely that frame would handle even worse than a normal 180? But yeah, 10/10 respect for just doing something essentially silly like that and following it through to the end.

Lots more silly and downright useless "bikes" have been built, many of those find loads of admirers. At least this seems to have been done sort of properly, reckon there's a LOT of head-scratching and machine hours in it.
