The frame looks like BL Pageant Blue.....a mate of mine had an Allegro 'HL' in that colour back in the day, complete with twin headlights, 5 speed gearbox, beige velour, and a vinyl.
Sexy as........

“The motorcycle is capable of holding two riders with a combined weight of 350-400 total pounds,” TE tells us. “The issue is the capability of the motor. It is only one horsepower and has difficulty with riders over 200 pounds and on hills." "This motorcycle has the ability to drive between 10-15 miles per hour using an all-electric motor,which was not actually 3D printed. The parts which were manufactured via other methods include; the drive belt, the various electronics, some of the bolts and the braking system. The vast majority of the other parts were all 3D printed in the aforementioned ABS plastic. This includes the wheel bearings, handlebars, frame, seat, and more." So not only does it look like a Harley it rides like one too.  It looks to me like the steering head is fixed as well which means going round corners may prove difficult. Handles like a Harley too |

I have only ever ridden 3 Harleys Mark but it was a joke. Harley's are just not my thing saying that if I got the six numbers up I may have one in my garage but in my opinion you buy a Harley for the image not for speed or handling. Apologies if I offended any Harley owners but no need to get your leather chaps in a twist |

You still got the Allegro FB? or was it really a mate of yours lol! A mate JB........known as Trev. Met him at college in 1991 at 17 years old and still in touch now - he was by best man at my wedding and we are good mates still. He bought the All Aggro for around £350 - real low miler - still remember the reg - UGF 404W. He was only on the road in it for three weeks after passing his test when he was sadly rear ended in Wokingham by a lad in an Escort.......deeming it beyond economical repair. So with only 55k on the clock, off it went to that great scrappy in the sky.  |

I can see that. Has technology come full circle and we need to save millions and just go back to a 1 horsepower horse?
