The fuel tank on that CBX - and the pipes - just shot my load....

And how can we have a Yam' love-up without the incomparable Very Max ..

The new ones, out for a few years now are a completely different beast, still a V4, but.... 1700cc i believe and over 200 bhp and huuuuge torque...

 

Here's a double post from Papa Al's trials thread;

early rigid frame post WW II Brit single trials bikes;

Stunning late 30's Norton Superior 1000 .. Attention to detail on this is top class .. like the pin striping on the oil tank .. 

JAP 1000 in a Brough Superior competition bike .. 

Awesome old 1920's Coventry Climax also with a JAP engine .. 

Along with Brough's and Montgomery's the Coventry was seen as one of the superbikes of the day ..

Something never sat right with me from this bike when i first saw it.

Norton never made a v twin around this time, or ever without getting my books out.

I believe it is a one-off custom special built recently to look like a vintage Brough -nought wrong with that, just sayin'.

That timing cover is a one off casting.

The k/start is either a modified Trident or a Sammy Miller item with a dreadful (spoils it) Harley custom made in Taiwan pedal atop.

Ditto the K&N type breather filter atop the R/H c/case.

Motor is possibly a JAP with a couple of one-off rockerbox inspection sideplate castings.

Nice, but the bars (too high) and the tank (too short), and minor detailing (like the K/S pedal) spoil it for me.

Correct mundo Mr Guzz' I had to double take it as well .. Sure the kick start pedal and breather give it away .. The name on the tank of Norton Superior also hints so my guess is a one off job .. But the rest of it looks the part methinks ..
