Interesting motorcycles, not XS650

I have a feeling it's just a fiberglass shell that is used to carry luggage. But still might be a bit large and heavy.
Looking at the window on the car you are probably correct.
It's all fun and games till you have to make a panic stop.
And when I see someone's project like that I have to wonder what they could have done with the time and money that was semi-practical. But then if one was to take a look at some of the stuff I have done over the years they would be saying the same about me!
Me and my mini me...
Oops...
Was just making a comment Mr Bultaco.
They are not actually mine.
Look good together though.

I understand the choice of rear tires and wheels was probably more for style than any thing else. But have to wonder how it handles in the curves with that skinny front tire trying to convince those two rears which way to go!
Never mind, touch that throttle and the front wheel ain't gonna be on the road anyhow.
Very true! In that case maybe it should have independent rear brakes like my 1947 Farmall BN so at least you could encourage it to go where you wanted to go!
Just remembered I have heard of a few guys with sidecars that do just that. Separate brake peddles for the sidecar and the rear wheel of the bike. Going to the right with right mounted sidecar just a light touch on the sidecar brake makes it turn right easy. Same for the left turns but using the brake on the rear of the motorcycle. But they are mounted so if you need to one foot works them both!
powered by a 510cc single cylinder motor. Very few were made and even fewer survive today.

An old school Harley shop was 1/2 mile from my childhood home, They sold Schwinn bikes too. Oil stained hardwood (creaky floor) Mix of a few new and several used Harleys. Sprints and this MX were in the mix. At 10 or 11 years old, I was certain I could dominate MX on that bike...
