Interesting motorcycles, not XS650

IDK, probably a 3.8, I saw it on Instagram and was relying.on memory. Pretty sure it was a 3.something. lol

I asked only because Jag could have had an interim or a racing only version. I am a Yank so I don't know the intimate history of Sir William Lyon's engines.

I’m not so sure it is a Jaguar unit. The Jag straight 6 is one of the most beautiful engines produced, both engineering wise and visually. I need to look deeper.
That lump in that bike looks ugly.

Hey, I could be WAY off, I'm just misquoting a post I saw on Instagram lol

You know it’s always amazed me how much faith guys put in front forks. I’d be afraid those things would snap on me!

And, it's amazing how many beefier-looking forks use stupidly small bearings down at the business end.

Jag?

Probably out of a scrapped MkII, going by the age of the bike bits. Late 60s / early 70s, those googly eyes were around.

Looks like a drag bike rear tire, water pump blocked off
A 67 4.2 engine

You can see it run here, it makes such a racket and smokes so much, that half those cylinders could be missing and you’d never know it!

He looks a bit uncertain about his future?
Hub steering of some sort. What could go wrong.

Every time I see that or other crazy build I have to wonder what could have been built with the skills and money put into that that might be close to practical! Like maybe scale it back to a V-6 or 8?

A Ducati Indiana made into a flat tracker. Never thought I'd see that.
