Paper Bike

Now I would like to take credit for this, but I can’t. Arnaud is the brother of a friend and he is visiting Australia at the moment. He heard about my hobby and decided he could do that.

Not happy to start as I did on frogs and eagles, Arnaud said he would build the YZF-R1 in a week (he said this in French and his brother translated). Well he said he would and he did, amazing is all I can say.

He was able to use some of paper shaping tools that were lying around the place they were visiting and on standard office paper produced this amazing bike.

Paper YZF-R1

The finished bike is approximatly 45 cm long, 15 cm wide and 20 cm high, and Andy (my friend) is currently trying to figure out how to store it.

Here are some photos of the construction process.
