Sure the fork gaiters and clocks give it a bit of an MZ look on the front end but apart

.... Hahahaha,

never thought of them like that, but you are dead right.

A silver MZ with black & red pinstriping.

Thanx.

 

Pleasant A65 bobber/chop;

 

Proper scruffy scrambler, looks like a 750 motor too, proper street cred with this one;

The Beeza looks well neat and the pipes on the scrambler are cool as cluck ..

Yeah I've been following a bit earlier today you're contributions on another thread started by one of the other guys who has bought one of the Hinckley Trumpets and was well impressed by its MPG .. I don't know enough about them intimately as you our Triumph expert so it was fascinating to read the posts by Yourself , Ballpoint , Neilly and the rest of the guys on how to mod' and tune 'em .. Great stuff keep it up ..

I'm back here now Jetting in Tues' night after finishing a series of hspl appointment in GB ( thank **** I got away before the idiot with the drone shut down Gatwick Thursday / Friday ) which is why I've been a bit quiet on this thread .. I'll see what I can dig up on the Porn front the next few days ..

Honest, i'm not a Hinkley expert, and don't know that much about them other than what i've read, or heard,  or watched on YT.

Mates of mine in England own several from a mundane air cooled 790 twin to a Rocket 3.

My personal favourite is an 08-10 Speed Triple.

Followed by the last of the Thunderbird Sports (carb'd) and first of the Speed Triples (Carb'd).

Followed by.......

I digress.

Now, Meriden Triumph twins - now you're talking.

I am that expert in Thailand.

 

Speed Triples;

Early 955 and an 08-10 1050 -

 

Couple of more conventional Norton's ( no rotary ) .. Love the 2 engine one and would love to hear it running .. 

And a cool understated old skool Commando ..

Bit radical that but I quite like it ..

Concur with all the above,

EXCEPT....

that flat tracker is not "cute" nor "little".

It is big, mean, nasty, powerful, fast & furious, and absolutely gorgeous.

But cute and little, no.

Cute and little references something pink, something step thru, something girlie with a basket on the front.

My references were for a wheel spinning dirt throwing real man's motorcycle. A Brit flat tracker.

 

 

Bump.

And a New Year to y'all who appreciate class on two wheels.

Hahaha .. You'ze a hard taskmaster Guzz' .. How does beguiling sound .. 

Matter of interest what would that be putting out 70/80 hp .? and weight Under 150kg dry possibly .? but sure I have no doubt it is probably a handful on the track .. 

Anyway HNY to ye'z as ive been off this thread a few days .. And all the other guys Dilligad , Ballpoint , Neillie , Damascase , Kickstart and anyone else I've missed out ..

Depending on the track features and track length, in the region of 65-70 bhp.

Weight around 330 Ibs or 150 kgs in new money, yeah.

 

 

2018 has been and gone, time to kick start this thread and ride on in to 2019 on a nice '98 Sport. Thunderbirds are go:

Um . . . Why put two engines in one motorcycle? Is that one for each wheel?

 

And which way is the bus station please?

Why have two women in one bed?

Why does a dog lick his nuts?

Now I see how it works. And the answer is, I believe, drag racing.

The bottom yea is a drag machine .. 

The top one though is more arty show bike .. 

Couple of different takes on building a Triumph 4 banger .. 

The casing's on the bottom machine looks a super neat bringing together job ..

More like a piece of shIt.

Typical American awful taste in building a horrid piece of motorcycling.

What a waste of 2 motors.

Hardly Rideable.

Apologies - I forgot Brits like their bikes the same way they like their women - technically very well put together, but aesthetically on a range from plain to ugly.

What, so you admire the 2 engined bike you posted?

You think it is a classy, "aesthetically" beautiful bike?

And you think it can actually be ridden at a third of the pace of a stock Harley?

Or is it literally just all Show and no Go? ie useless as a motorcycle and ok as art if you like that sort of art?

Please answer the 4 questions above.

Thank you.
