Not sure.

Can't make out the sticker on the tank.

Looks like YA.... -something.

OK tank sticker not that much in focus could of said Yam but i never did know much about didie bikes, passed my UK test on one and left them behind and literally as well. 

Here is my brother at Daytona Beach with a 1968 Kawasaki A1SS Samurai 250 that previously belonged to me. 

 My KZ1300 is also in the picture. 
 

And here a a picture of a very nice classic bike taken on Main Street in Daytona Beach sometime in the 1980s during bike week.

I have no idea, but here's another couple, one with the date on it. Nobody on here not know their age? Sorry I cannot be more helpful but I am not a biker as such.

 

The Triumph T110 was a 650cc manufactured from 1953-1961, knowing Triumph they did a few mods over the years, why name it the T110.

The Triumph T100 was a 500 cc modal, so called T100 as it could reach 100 mph a good marketing ploy, the T110 ,one motorcycle magazine at the time got one to 109 mph not quite 110 mph, but with a few mods it could retch 110 mph. 

This one looks like an early modal with that tank design.

Great stuff lost all my pictures on a number of move abouts when young.

What a good photo library to have. ????

I have lost or misplaced many of my original pictures. But I always kept the negatives.
About 10 or 15 years ago I scanned all of my negatives into my computer memory and keep several copies.

Honda CB750 classed as the first Superbikes has anyone had one. 

Never had one but I took a year off from college and went to a motorcycle mechanics school back around 1973.  The Honda 750 was pretty new at the time.  But I wasn't interested in big bikes.

Photo taken today.

 

Lower bodywork is off the bike for some reason or other.  Exhaust is original.  All bodywork is original.  20,000 km which may well be genuine.

It's a 'keeper'! Especially if only 20,000 kms. ???? 

Had one of these a few years ago. Wish I still had it. Very rare now. 1975 TL250.

I once did 138-140mph on a quiet motorway and I wouldn't want to do it again unless it was a closed road. 175mph must have been very risky on a public road.

Fantastic bike changed history  that's why I have one here in Thailand.

My one should have twin headlights but previous Dick owner changed it to keep up with the Joneses I guess.

Nah you can do it here in Thailand no probs.

You can get there quick and come down quick too on powerful bikes that's what a lot of non bike people don't realize.
