Hello Readers we’re back with a new post “Snapchat Login on PC”,but first lets learn a little bit about Snapchat App. Snapchat is becoming one of the most widely used social media apps, having over 150 million daily active users from all around the globe. Launched in the year 2012, this popular multimedia messaging app allows users to post photos (called “Snaps”), videos and stories from Android or iPhones and share them with their friends and family. Snapchat has flamboyant filters to prettify one’s pictures videos and lets you add appropriate captions and doodles to your images. The unique most feature of Snapchat is that it allows having conversations that disappear after a short time interval, after which the shared content is gone forever –similar to “story” feature of WhatsApp and Instagram.

And what is love? It is a doll dressed up For idleness to cosset, nurse, and dandle; A thing of soft misnomers, so divine That silly youth doth think to make itself Divine by loving, and so goes on Yawning and doting a whole summer long, Till Miss's comb is made a perfect tiara, And common Wellingtons turn Romeo boots; Till Cleopatra lives at Number Seven, And Antony resides in Brunswick Square. If some passions high have warmed the world, If queens and soldiers have played deep for hearts, It is no reason why such agonies Should be more common than the growth of weeds. Make me whole again that weighty pearl The queen of Egypt melted, and I'll say That ye may love in spite of beaver hats.
Mac Motorcycles Peashooter Remember my recent articles saying it's? Well, I'm not the only one who thinks so, here's another one that just popped up across the pond in the UK, it's Mac Motorcycles and they have some really sweet designs, every one looks like it would be a blast to ride, which is fitting because, they're all powered by the Buell Blast 500 single. They're planning 4 models, the Spud, Ruby, Peashooter and Roarer, all variations on a theme of lightweight simplicity, no plastic covered high tech racer replicas, these bikes are everyday riders with everything you need and nothing more.
Mac's foundations. Between us, we've owned and ridden just about everything bar a top-fuel drag bike (Gaffer One's probably daft enough to throw his leg over. Mac's Cycle has a full parts department with a wide array of off and on-road parts and accessories. We have a full line-up of all of the latest helmets and riding gear in the industry. We also have a full range of aftermarket wheels and tires, as well as accessories for Motorcycles, ATV's and Side X Sides.
Ellis Pitt, teamed up with to produce these little beauties and they're planning to distribute first in the UK, North America and Japan with potential expansion into France and Australia. Mac Motorcycles Ruby No details yet of how soon these will be rolling out the door, but if the finished bikes look like these designs, I hope it isn't too long.
We'll keep you posted. I like the way these guys are thinking, forget the recession,! Mac Motorcycles press release: New British Motorcycle Brand: ‘Mac Motorcycles’ Unveils Plans for a Range of new Motorcycles A collaboration between one of the UK’s leading motorcycle design studios, Xenophya Design and Ellis Pitt has led to the launch of a new British motorcycle company called ‘Mac Motorcycles’.
Ellis has collaborated with the team at Xenophya for the past 9 months to design a small range of lightweight, air-cooled singles using the 500cc Buell ‘Blast’ motor in a tubular backbone frame. Ellis explains “Between us we’d designed, modified, built and ridden all sorts of motorcycles over the last 30 years and thought it was time to produce a motorcycle that reflected our philosophy. Our influences have been diverse and we’ve made unusual connections between genres of motorcycles such as choppers, Italian singles from the 1950s, flat-trackers and competition specials.
What underpins Mac Motorcycles’ philosophy though is the belief that the riding experience and the stories that go with motorcycle journeys seem to have been hijacked by technology and plastic.” Mac Motorcycles Roarer There are 4 different models; ‘Spud’, for dossing about on, ‘Ruby’, the motorcycle equivalent of ‘the girl-next-door’, ‘Peashooter’, for squirting to your favourite pub and gassing with your mates and the ‘Roarer’, a modern-day dinosaur-chaser! The company initially plans to produce a few hundred bikes in small batches increasing production as appropriate.
During the last recession, Ellis, a product designer by background, grew his family’s business into a successful furniture manufacturing business before selling it in 1995. Since then he has combined work as a business adviser with design thinking, frequently developing successful products through a number of UK high street retailers. Based in the small English town of Upton-Upon-Severn in Worcestershire, Mac Motorcycles plan to market this unique new range of motorcycles throughout the world. Bikes will be made in small batches for markets in the UK, North America and Japan, with customers in France and Australia in-mind too. Depending on your preferred specification and tuning options, you could expect to buy any one of these bikes for between £ 8k - £ 10k.

If it were less than ten grand. I would probably place an order today. I’ve been looking for a bike with these aspects: small single cylinder larger displacement (call it middle displacement) classic looks modern reliability fun to ride good fuel mileage fairly inexpensive This bike meets every one of them EXCEPT price. I know the price is high because of small volume. So make more and sell them for less (problem solved)! For that money I could get almost two Thruxtons.
fearnow says. I’d buy any of these bikes (except the Spud-not likeing that style) but alas they lack one thing-a motor. I like the single cylinder concept mind you, I almost bought a Muz Skorpion, but a Buell Blast engine? I’d rather throw a 450cc dirtbike thumper in there than keep the Buel Blast motor in it. Maybe they’ll hit it off and make their own rip roaring thumper and I’d consider spending the dough, in the mean time I’ll keep riding and owning Triumphs.
Good Luck Mac Motorcycles. clive makinson-sanders says. For a high end custom 4 stroke product, these designs lack impact, compared to say Confederate Motorcycles in the USA and they lack the performance of say Voxan in France.
In reference to questions about the engine, this is from their website: “Stock motors produce 34 HP at 6500 RPM but a bolt-on big-bore kit (515 cc), Andrews Cams, a Mikuni HSR 42 carb’, Screamin’ Eagle ignition and a Supertrapp exhaust will produce around 50 HP at 7200 RPM. A Blast running an NRHS 515 kit set a record at Bonneville in the 650 class” As the press release says, “Depending on your preferred specification and tuning options ” so it looks like you can get the high spec engine right from them.
Besides, just how much horsepower do you think you’re actually using from your 180hp race replica when you’re riding on public roads? In reference to the many of you who always believe the price is too high and it should be offered at less than half of the quoted price (no matter what it happens to be), try to do that yourself, become a “doer.” You’ll quickly learn a lot about running a business and find out out why things cost what they do. I’m sure that they have to charge that much to pay for the materials and make a little profit on the side. That’s why it’s difficult to be a “doer” and succeed. The only thing that brings the cost down is mass production.
Hopefully a company that has the capability to mass produce will see the clamor and realize that people (at least some of us) want a stylish bike in a smallish package. There is nothing wrong with us wishing for a price package more in line with mainstream competition. As far as HP goes, i’d prefer the 50HP setup. But i do feel that that is plenty for everyday use. Especially in a lightweight bike like this. SteveD says.
Just a generous comparison; a £ 7K Yamaha R6 or an £8 – £10K Mac Rubylet me see which one I would buy.Sure they are 2 different bikes, but what the Mac lacks in performance it does`nt add in anything else, it adds in style you say, I don`t think it even has the style of a £ 6K BonnevilleAnd why that engine, it has such lame history. Why was the blast ever invented anyway, don`t begginers usually buy used bikes that are better and cheaper so it does`nt matter when they`re droppedPutting such a lousy engine on such an expensive bike is nonsense, regardless if you can get 50 HPIf anything I would`nt put all my eggs in one basket by using the blast engine only, use other engines for the better models.Also $8000 or £5000 starting price is more realistic for such a bike I think, you`ll have to be creative, not only in the styling.Good luck. GenWaylaid says. Very pretty bikes, but, as it’s already been stated, price is an issue and it’s going to limit its market. The market in the States is going to be pretty small.
Think of all the tasty mid-displacement street thumpers that never moved many units at the dealers: SR500, SRX-6, GB500, FT500, Skorpion, etc. They appeal to a small niche who only grudgingly buy a few of them.
I would start reaching for my wallet if Buell or Mac sold a bike like this: Would the K&N style filters on these bikes pass the noise regs or would they need an airbox to quiet the intake honk. Maybe a bike like this would be better sold as a kit. Put it all together a la carte. Maybe go with EPA legal S&S top ends in a proprietary case and a non-unit transmission to avoid the Blast association. frozen prairie says.
The bikes look great and I like the choice of engine too. Not every bike has to have four valves per cylinder and twin cams. For those of you who want that sort of thing, there are plenty of mass market options out there, or you can just build something yourself and I’m sure Paul would be happy to post pictures of it here on the Kneeslider.
We’d all like to see those, I’m sure. I’ve toured from John O’ Groats to Tamanrassett and plenty of places in between on a 28HP 500cc single. More horsepower wouldn’t have made the journey any more fun. When I wrenched at a Honda/Suzuki/Kawasaki dealership the bike I owned had 103 HP; that was neat too. I think the Macs would sell well in Japan (the Brat style guys and other similar builders seem to be doing ok).
France, Britain and Oz have plenty of thumper fans as well (Germany, Holland, Italy and the RSA too, for that matter), just check out some of the XT group websites. In North America hmmm. I think they could sell, though it might take a shift in what is considered cool looking. Here in Canada, Harleys are quite expensive but there are lots of people who are willing to shell out 20 to 30 thousand dollars (and more) for a bike that is not terribly fast or great handling. Because their idea of what riding is all about dovetails nicely with the looks and performance of those bikes. So, cheers to the Mac guys. They’re doing something risky and exciting – starting a company, building motorcycles they’ve designed.
How many of us have done that? I’ve been cyber obsessing over single like the srx600 for a couple of years. Companies like mac and deus have got the idea. I’ve seen a streetfightered blast on ebay that looks pretty cool as well. I think the engines should definitely stay air cooled, for the looks, keep the bike light and it would be a blast to ride.
A kit would be a great idea. Make one for the 250 ninja as well. The little ninja’s engine looks good naked, just needs a ’04 z1000 headlight fairing and some flat bars. David says. Maybe this will awaken some tiny inking in Eric Buells awareness that riders like a little style in their bikes and that Buells (including Blasts) are just too strange looking.
If Buell would come out with a reasonably styled bike (say XR750), reasonably good performing (400 pounds, grunty 60 HP, decent suspension), they couldn’t make enough to keep up with demand. And don’t tell me about the HD XR1200, it’s a bloated boxy 560 pound excuse. A 30 HP 500cc non-counterbalanced single is a bit of a joke. OK for Royal Enfield but this is just dumb. There’s the Yamaha XT660, Suzuki DR650, Rotax, at least use an engine that allows some limited highway capacity. I’ve owned three SR500’s.
I like them, am tolerate of their limitations, but I KNOW why Yamaha doesn’t import them to US anymore. I don’t like the giant backbone look of the MACs, the more I see it the less I like it. And what’s with the rear tire on the front? As noted above, this will probably be the last we see on “MAC”. nortley says.
The SRX is a cult bike. So is the GB500. There are not a million people waiting with checks in hand for a bike like this so thinking it could be produced for 5 grand is sort ofwell, ignorant.
Price a set of Dymag wheels, a set of Marzoccchi or Ohlins USD forks and a new Blast engine. Now add to that the tooling costs for a new gas tank, frame, electrical diagrams for wiring, a warranty program, amortization costs for EPA tests and registering as a legal manufacturer, etc, etc, etc. There are lots of talented people on here that could build a nearly exact replica of one of the bikes pictured sourcing parts from Ebay, wrecking yards and online sources for just a few grand. There are NOT a lot of folks who are capable of doing it a couple hundred times a year. The overhead on a business of this size is much highter than most people might expect.
David, I’m sure there are plenty of air cooled singles available; Just off the top of my head there’s the XR650L, the DR650, the Savage, and the Bullet (though not in Calif.). Part of the reason these bikes never sell well is because they don’t advertise them. I never knew about the GB500 until 1991, around the same time they shipped all the remaining unsold ones off to Germany. I never saw one at a dealership (’89 and ’90), never saw any ads on TV or in magazines and I didn’t read Cycle World, preferring Brit bike mags instead. Kawasaki made the same mistake with the W650.
The people who would have bought truck loads of those (like my dad) don’t read magazines slanted towards Ninjas and GSXR’s.todd. Markkit says. Lovely looking designs and website, I agree that H-D/Buell could learn some lessons from the styling seen here. Outright HP is not everything in the real world and I am sure that the power would be adequate, especially with the extra mods.

I do agree with some of the comments regarding engine choice, I would prefer the less traditionally pretty options that are brought in by other builders, say a Rotax 650(BMW, Aprilia, CR&S), Minarelli 660 (Yamaha, Derbi), the Suzuki used by CCM or maybe a Honda single, but hey horses for courses, I am not the one starting up a MC business like these doers! Of course there are problems with the practicality of the design, it’s a concept people! The design is someone’s vision, it has to invoke passion in potential investors, customers and suppliers.The practical problems should get ironed out during prototyping, testing and manufacture whilst hopefully still maintaining the essence of the original vision. Fantastic work, I wish them all the best!
The more I look at these bikes, the more I like them. The Spud appeals to me the most. Excellent lines from the frame through the tank. I’m not turned off by the Buell engine. 34hp in a light-weight motorcycle is more than adequate for my needs. My daily rider is a ’79 XS1100, and it’s a heavy old lump. I could use a smaller, lighter bike that’s more responsive.
I just worry if the Mac’s XS-sized frame will fit my XXL-sized frame. The price does put a wrench in my daydreaming, but it’s not a deal-killer. It would take a while to save up for it, but having a sexy, bespoke bike is worth a bit of sacrifice. Randy says. I think many people romanticize about 500cc singles without having actual experience with them.
FWIIW, I’ve owned and ridden 3 different SR500’s, a SRX600, and a XL500, In the first place “34 horsepower” is probably more like 25-28. In the second place accessing that peak HP is a tooth rattling, vision elongating, vibratory mess, It basically limits you to 60-65 mph for the long run. This is very unlike say a Ninja 250, which has the same peak HP but is smooth enough to cruise at 70-75 mph. So, prepare to be out gunned by any modern car above 50 mph or so. You WILL BE the slowest thing out there, Romping around on surface streets on such a machine is OK, as is totting along country lanes. These bikes are fun for certain things, but in any freeway or highway situation you become an obstacle. I rode down Baja one year with a group of mostly Norton riders (I was on a Multistrada) that included a rider on a GB500.
Every single section we waited for that person to catch up. Many times it would get stuck behind a truck – it could not safely pass anything! I like small bikes, but I buy old ones cheap and then have a little slow fun. $10K (say $14K OTD) for a toy?
The romance of the single cylinder is spot on (good one Randy), motorcycle design has already been hijacked by plastic and technology, now its time for ‘retro’ to seduce us into buying a ‘new’ kind of bike that we can only really use in the city and which costs thousands more than other bikes. It will be great for a few miniutes of posing, until a Super-Duke pulls up alongside, or even a Guzzi V7 Classic (£ 5.5 K), or a Ducati GT1000 (£ 7 K)Note that the Japanese market is full of cheaper retro bikes;, most are production stock Kawasaki, Yamaha 250 cc bikes with bolt on aftermarket components that make them look cool and good for posing, also 250 cc is good for city use also, it can also go on the motorway I think. JimmyR says. Page 30, Cycle World, July 2009: Moto Guzzi V7 Classic – 39 horsepower, 37 ft-lbs of torque.
Page 62, Roadracing World 2009 Track Day Directory: Kawasaki Ninja 250R – 24.68 horsepower, 12.54 ft-lbs of torque. Anyone who thinks their VTR does any better is seriously delusional.
So why doesn’t H-D do it? A single only costs a few hundred (at the most) less to build than a twin, yet is expected to sell for half the price of the twin. That does explain a lot about Buell and the B last. A stock GB500 (33hp) will do over 100 mph. I’ve had mine up to 105 with my wife on the back, full of camping gear going across the San Mateo Bridge. The key is to use every bit of the available RPM (the GB is smooth because of its counter-balancer) before shifting up. I also have a ‘moto’d XR650L that does the freeways just fine.
Heck, only my cafe’d XL350 (I don’t know, 20hp?) would just start feeling uncomfortable around 85 or more – only due to vibration. I exchanged bikes once with my friend’s CBR600 F3. He said the GB felt pretty powerful! I think the problem is that he would shift his CBR at 6 or 7000 RPM and be in top gear by 50 mph.
That works just fine on the GB but I never made it out of third in his CBR (around 100 mph). People need to learn how to let a motor run at the RPM it was designed to run. No short shifting, no running around at 3000 RPM, lugging the motor. Let a 500 single run and breathe the way it was designed to and it’s well more than adequate.todd. says.
I like it, with reservation. I don’t think they take the idea far enough.
I see a lot of Wraith here (tubular back-bone frame). I wish they would hide the gas in the frame (like Buell) and the oil in the swing arm (like Buell), and put the exhaust underneath. So you’d have a really uncluttered, skeletal look. I wouldn’t car if the gas tank/frame only held 2-3 gallons.
This is not a long haul bike anyway. The carb and K&N filter jutting into the space under the tank, looks like an afterthought. Give it the Keihin EFI from the Enfield Bullet. clone5 says.
That’s no stock Blast putting out 50.8 HP. Considering that Grands Prix 500 singles were lucky if they put out 50 HP. I’m not saying it isn’t possible nowadays just that it isn’t stock. My GB500 feels ever so slightly more powerful than a Blast, it was rated at 33.36 HP at 7000 RPM when tested by Cycle magazine in 1989.
It’s obviously not a collectible bike because of its power output. I do feel it’s completely adequate, and fun. Much the way these Blast based bikes should be.
That CBR250RR would be big fun. Probably runs like a two-stroke.todd. nobody says. Todd, To your last 2 questions: Yes. I used to lust after Japan’s home market 250 & 400 machines 15-20 years ago.
I quit paying attention to them after that. It was a shock to find out that the high tech 250 & 400 class has been dead for quite some time – until I realized why.
They cost pretty much the same as (or even more than) the 600s – without the restrictions, the market died. Back when the RD350 etc were new, they cost a whole lot less than the bigger bikes. Heck, I bought a brand new leftover RZ350 in 1986 for $2000.00. The shop owner said that nobody would take a 350 seriously in that area – I was there looking for an SRX600, which his shop never even got.
That era is long gone and dead. A few years later, Honda brought out the GB500, HawkGT, and CB1 – slick rational bikes – and they were considered way overpriced by most and chased a lot of CBR600s out the door. The other reason is that modern motorcycles just age well, yet depreciate badly. It is hard for people to justify spending a lot on a new lightweight when a nice used middleweight (haven’t heard that term in a long time) or heavyweight can be had for the same price. And those desirable vintage bikes are still bargains by new bike standards – not a bad thing.
Then there was the reputation – saying “Z1” or “Honda 750-Four” when I was younger to the other gearhead kids generated nods of reverence. Those bikes were, to us, obviously bought by Real Men. Everyone else bought the smaller bikes. Well, it turns out that Z1s and CB750s weren’t he-man bikes after all. A 550 pound bike does the same thing as a 350 pound bike – and they both hurt the same if you don’t know what you’re doing.
And the throttle works in both directions. A 100 hp bike can still put out 30 hp. Or the same 10 hp or so it takes to go down the road at 60 mph. I’ve yet to ride a bike that I wish made less power.
Except for a summer spent on an AR80 (no kidding), I’ve never ridden a bike that could even use every available horsepower at all times, either. Those are my thoughs & opinions – I have no charts to prove any of it. Nicolas says. Todd, I’m riding a cafe racer 1975 Honda CB500t, which would be considered as the ancestor of your beloved GB500? Pretty sharp looking, beautiful engine, great sounds, old time vibrations, but it pushes out only around 30-35 hp or sthg. That’s enough to have a dynamic daily commute, I even keep up with my buddies on 600’s in the twisties, but to be honest it’s more cafe than racer I really love this thing, nothing on the road compares to it’s flair, but sometimes a bit more “umpf” would be appreciated so I really think a brand new Mac should have at least 50 hp and decent torque to make me and my 10 Grands happy.
