Great stuff - thanks everyone for the visuals 
Can't believe no one has posted Guy Coulon's 6 cylinder racers with a motor he built himself that revs to 22,000 RPM(!).
Very cool!!

I realize these aren't technically "one-off" but they're close. Vyrus:

You know? I was just getting ready to comment on how nice it was to not read another thread about squids, or 'the cager who tried to kill me'...
Movin' on:
I know I did these Ossa's somewhere before... can't remember if it was this thread or not. Ah, old age. Everything old, is new again.
LEO Specials:
Sidecars:
I'm not sure if this is a sidecar, or extra propulsion.

Slow, Zooki!
A couple of 'Tunas, before that became a bit of an epithet.
Not sure which motor this is. Looks like a triple.
Flash back to the days of anti-dive.
Rotary baby!
Yes, they did actually paint a Suzuki green. Horrors.
Wes Cooley, updated.
A slightly modded B-King.
GTS, which someone already posted a pic of:
Sorry the pic is so small. There's 50cc's in there somewhere.
A nicely updated GT750.
A GT750 motor, in a handmade... errythang!
Long before the Japanese manufacturers were making one-piece aluminum frames, Ciba-Geigy was experimenting with this monocoque frame idea.

More Suzuki:
Ludicrous speed!!!
The Nuda! (Another escapee from the concept directory.)
Yep! They made a turbo too.
Fire department special?
Micro-Katana.
Shock to swingarm interference? Shoot, I can fix that! Hand me the hacksaw and a welder!
Don't remember what this was called, but I love that little pancake motor!
Minor scratches from falling over in driveway..
Remember my comments about paintjobs a while back? Mmmm. Great color combo.
Another escapee.
Treeumph.
Can't help myself. A couple from the Vintage directory:
Okay, more than a couple.

Can't help but wonder if that's a NSU car motor with a frame made to fit, pretty cool.

You gotta love the name. Disco Volante!
Any day I can see a bunch of bikes I STILL have not seen on this planet in my years is a great day and BARF fucking delivers! As for the Disco Volante (Flying Saucer in Italian), makes me wonder if it was an homage to Alfa Romeo's Disco Volante from the early 50's.
Back on the two-wheeled track and being an Alfa fan for years... I would love to hop on the AlfaBeast and try it.
