Interesting motorcycles, not XS650

This V16 2 stroke is named the "1916". The bike is Supercharged to force the intake charge in, as opposed to a standard 2-stroke that uses the underside of the piston to pull the intake charge through the crankcase. The top ends were from Victa 160s.
My Suzuki TC 185 engine/transmission also has a dual-range 5-spd transmission; a separate hi-lo shifter provides trail / road gear ratios.

My 1977 Suzuki RV125 has the same thing
I restored an old Honda Trail 90 for my son and I wanted to put a 150cc engine in it but he wanted to keep the original engine because it had the dual range transmission.
Mrs Willis and I pulled into the local breakfast place and saw this in the parking lot.
When you have outriggers do you need to countersteer?
Yet another Jim Bede creation that was ahead of it's time and never went anywhere.

Few ever completed as airplanes. If completed they often killed their pilot. The praying mantis of kit planes?

The text following shows there's nothing so obscure that someone can't ID it. ;^)
Nick Smith:
Shropshire (Salop) registration, after July 1912, when they reached AW 1000. Appears to have the updated 770cc JAP engine with a single camwheel, and an Armstrong hub gear.
The local archives have a card index which would tell you the make: Shropshire Records Centre, Castle Gates, Shrewsbury, SY1 2AQ (01743 255350) - card index 1921 to 1972.
FWIW I think it's a Trump-JAP - the narrow tank and no dropped tube appear to suggest it.
PS Allison sez the horse is prolly a Hackney pony.

I attended a Motorad at the local BMW dealer today and saw a couple of beauties!

stumbled on this video series and it has been riveting to see if they get this Orange County Coppers bike running
I know nothing but wouldn't wear bell bottoms while riding it.
