Chalk and Cheese.

Transam, much as i appreciate the engineering marvels of a racing Honda 6 cylinder DOHC 250cc motorcycle, and, yes they are a true classic bike with mucho history etc etc, it is chalk and cheese compared to a Triumph 650/750 pushrod OHV based on a design by God (Edward Turner) in 1936.

 You may like multi cylinder bikes spinning to, what 16-17000 rpm, with a power band smaller than a period two stroke. I do not.

So, no offence or insult intended,  stop hijacking this thread with classic racing, revving their tIts off little Hondas, and contribute something interesting and similar to the OP's bike (mine), like other proper British parallel twins. Please.

Norton Atlas, Commando

BSA A10's of various guises (never liked the unit A65's)

Triumph 650's pre-unit and unit

and perhaps the sexiest of all parallel twins, the Royal Enfield Constellation and fantastic Interceptor.

 Thank you.

Well I could have mentioned this bike that I actually worked on which would be more in your line but it ain't my favourite bike...

PS. I worked at AMC too, making Norton, AJS and Matchless stuff...

So it was your fault AJS/Matchless went under....
