Interesting motorcycles, not XS650

[bosco659]

Interesting, fun to look at but to me more a curio* than a motorbike.

* an object or article valued because it is strange or rare.

I agree. There’s so much to see. A grenade shifter, piston fuel cap, valve cover gas tank and the list keeps going on. Thought it was quite well done.

A couple old classics.

1903 with the engine designed by Alessandro Anzani

Anzani W3 Racing Motorcycle 1905

Seem to remember that Bleriot's plane, the one he used to make the first flight across the English Channel, la Manche, had a three cylinder Anzani bolted on the front.

Barn find of the day: a YM1 in excellent condition. The design language is pure 60s style. Check out the beautiful combined instrument. This bike was really fast for its time ; )

Dont know what to say about it --- if one dont want 4 x Royal Enfields there is another " English Brand "

Triumph Muscle Roadster --- did not know such a thing existed
they do have a lot of different bikes

The Triumph Rocket is 2500cc of pure muscle machine. Loads of torque and power. For a cruiser it handles really well and looks very cool. Had a short test ride this year and loved it. Was due to have a two day loaner but the bad weather put a lid on that. Next year I’ll be on it.

I think it is an crf850sm, basically a Supermoto with 100hp! but knowing Honda it will have multiple duties

Another one followed me home

Congratulations that looks to be complete and fairly nice shape, my first bike was a cherry red sl70 that I rode every day from sunup to sundown until I sold it to buy a 1973 Yamaha atmx125, it was just as nice looking with silver paint and beautiful red pinstripes, it was also a whole lot faster.
