This is the Proton Stingray, an experiment by the Proton Prototype Centre that took 2 months. Proton says they built the Proton Stingray to enhance skills and upgrade technical knowledge, but I fail to see what car-related skills could be gained from building a motorcycle from ancient parts such as the carburetted 12 valve 1.5 litre engine they used.
The front suspension bits are telescopic shocks from the Kawasaki Vulcan 800 together with the front brakes as well, while the rear uses S45C mild steel and a ventilated disc brake from a Proton GEN2.
Look after the jump for a hi-res gallery of the Stingray.

AI-generated Summary ✨
Comments show mixed reactions to Proton's motorcycle prototype, with some supporting its engineering training value and use of recycled parts, emphasizing it as a prototype for skill development. Others criticize it for being unattractive, a waste of resources, and irrelevant to Proton's main focus on car manufacturing. Several commenters highlight that Proton should prioritize improving its car quality and technology rather than diverting attention to motorcycles, viewing the project as a distraction. Some point out that major companies like BMW and Honda have built bikes for research and innovation, but emphasize that Proton's effort seems more like a fun experiment rather than a serious product. Overall, sentiments lean towards skepticism about the project's purpose and calls for Proton to focus on producing better cars.
