...but what I heard of Hans A. Muth's mouth is:

he designed a bike with which had gone right into the bottom drawer of the Suzuki bosses - years later it got taken out and only the back end was used for a completely different bike by a new designer, bike got known as RF 900.

[johnr]

a lot of the design features of the rf900 actually remind me of the honda nr750, again, not a pretty bike, trick mind you, but not pretty, whereas the rf wasnt even trick!

[fossie]

Folklore again!!!
It was designed by hans muths son at nursery!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[outrage]

Probably one of his prototype sketches on how not to design a bike which was unfortunately mistaken for something worth building.
