A very rare pic of the lesser spotted asbo 1
It's usually seen on video buzzing around the lanes of west Wales
Cheers all Dai
Oh no Dai, that is not number 1. The machine officially known and stamped as 001 is a 500 residing in Scotland. This is because for some reason, I never included the first half dozen or so 350's in the count and only started to do so after quite a few 500's were so named. The name was only thought up after a few tuned 500's were built, even our first 500 racer is not in the count. The first bike to be called 'Asbo' was actually a 500 I used to own, but this was tuned after No 1 and actually stamped as No2. The owner of No 1 wanted his machine in the count and it was retrospectively given that number, as it was the first 500 I tuned for a customer. It also seemed a little disappointing at first on the dyno, showing just under 26 BHP @ rear wheel, until we noticed it was kicking out over 58 lbs of torque !!
In reality, there are probably well over 40 'Asbo' type Bullets out there!
