Great model with fatal flaw: Forks don't turn which means realistic poses are limited to "running" renders. Very disappointing given Ansiko's usual detail. Material zones are illogical as well, e.g. can't select fenders or seat cowl for repaint).
Looks like it's going back.

It looked lovely, but the lack of either centre or side stand stopped me from getting it.
Saw that, and while it captures the essence of a Triton, that sure doesn't look like any Triumph engine at all.. (I had a T100 Daytona way back in the day..) Although looking at it, it more resembles a 750 Commando mill, bieng sloped, and with peashooters.. A proper Trition had a Triumph engine (usually a 650 ) in a Norton Featherbed frame hence the Triton name (a combo of Triumph and Norton) There were also Norbsa (BSA engine in a Norton Frame, and as an ultimate special, perhaps - Norvins, a Vincent engine in a Featherbed frame
And an proper cafe racer needs a TLS front brake :)
Still. it does capture the "look and feel" nicely
I am glad I am not the only one who looked at it and thought it wasn't quite a Triton. I used to belong to a gang back in the day where every biker except one rode Triumph's, the odd one out had a Triton, Bonneville engine, Dominator frame. He had built his himself.
It's a lot closer to a Norton engine.
Yeah. ,aybe he used the engine Roger discarded when he built his Triton
We need some good old Brit 500 singles - I ran a Panther 600 for a short time, would have loved a Velocette Venom/Viper or an ES2
My elder brother was rather fond of BSA, he had a couple or 3. Younger brother tended to get by with big brother's cast offs at first and sort of followed his brother's lead as to make.
Well, by using a 'different' engine, that helps set this bike aside a bit (i.e. not an exact copy of anything).
They still race bikes like these in the 'Vintage' category at some bike events. I went a couple of years back. On a related note, watching the guys doing the sidecar races, with the 'passenger' leaning waaay out to counterbalance when they were cornering was, well those guys are insane (or at least they look insane)!!!
On the lack of a sidestand thing. Yeah that's a pet peeve of mine as well. Centerstands are nice too, but you should at least have a sidestand. And passenger pegs if you' e provided extra seat space for passengers. Some of us like to use the pillions on our bikes...
I'd love to see a good Sport Tourer in the Daz collection. The C-14 Concours model I"ve seen on some other sites, well they want a lot of money for that ($99?). A Beemer ST or other brand would be fine too, or perhaps a Yamaki upgrade... needs side cases though (all good ST's have side cases, and owners often add trunks to them too)
But I digress. Nice looking model Ansiko!
The forks don't turn? Deary deary me — that's as bad as a bike model I got years ago (can't remember now if it was freebie or paid) where the whole front wheel and handlebar assembly did turn... but the axis was vertical instead of aligned along the line of the forks assembly. Turning the handlebars looked weird. With that and the other problems... sorry, but it's just come off my wishlist.
my stepfather was is a fan of the old British bikes HATES the others everyone loves - Harley and their like doesn't like the japanese bikes either he's British bikes all the way. Back in his younger days he used to rebuild them had lots of spare parts had Norton, Triumph, Sunbeam had some rae ones think the Sunbeam was the only one in Tasmania but he sold everything regets it now often said of buying a new Triumph but not that keen on models now days prefers the old classics
There are a few nice free bike models around.. This Bonneville model (64mb download) came from Sketchfab. There's alos a free BSA Bantam out there as well..Sadly, these are not rigged properly for DAZ..They probably could be rigged, though..
I looked it over. Looks like a nice model but NO WHERE on the sales page does it mention any thing like "wheels rotate" or anything that hints to any sort of rigging. With that that and the missing kickstand... I'll pass. Not a fan of motorcycles in the real world, we have a hog that visits across the street. Hurts my ears so bad when it's being started up and taking off. I wanna throw something at that dude so bad. Sorry noise pollution is noise pollution no matter how "cool" something is.
Catamaran also had some nice free bikes. They are still available on the Mophography website: http://www.morphography.uk.vu/dlcatamaran.html
Well.. I think I'd call this a caricature of a Norton Cafe Racer.... I can see it being useful as a background filler prop. perhaps...
and on noisy hogs.. yeah, no argument there, and they don;t have to be that loud.. I had a cut down 1936 ULH in the day, and I ran it with proper muffled pipes, and it wasn't all that loud, more of a deep rumbly chuffing. (well, it was a flathead, so....)
