Edit: those are three 125cc Harley hummers.

Her baggy leathers may cause a bit of drag down the strip?
Last of 4 prototypes made.
1915 Williams Clady Powered By A Radial Engine In The Rear Wheel.
873cc and three cylinders, it produces 10 bhp, and it has a two-speed transmission. The fuel tank is fitted to the frame just behind the handlebars, and the oil tank is integrated into that thick frame top tube.

My 1997 Buell M2. I'd owned the bike about 11 months when I took the picture. Bought it October 1997. Sold it 2022 as my joints could no longer stand the vibration for more than about 10 miles.
250 Beamish Suzuki trials bike. 1978. A very sweet bike that I definitely regret selling. Frame is British built Renolds 531 bronze welded and chrome plated design. Was a project by Suzuki UK to use up unused RL250 engines. Very competitive bike in the late 70's. Really should have kept this one but at the time I couldn't resist flipping it to double my money in 6 months. Mistake.

What a beauty. Had an /02 Cyclone myself. I can sure relate to the bone shaker concept you refer to. ONE FUN ride tho'.
Thanks. I also had this 1991 RS1200 Westwind. Bought it on eBay from Louisiana and imported it to the UK. Sold it to a good friend after a complete overhaul. I just couldn't fit on it, sadly.What a beauty. Had an /02 Cyclone myself. I can sure relate to the bone shaker concept you refer to. ONE FUN ride tho'.

Another rare gem. Is that a Baker chain drive kit ? I slapped on on my M2 after snapping 3 belts in 3 seasons. Had installed a factory race ecu,Andrews N4 cams V&H SS2R ex. and a Mikuni 42mm HSR carb. WOO-HOO!

No, the early barn built bikes, RR1000, RR1200 and RS1200 were chain drive. Belt drive was only adopted after the Harley Davisdon buy in that resulted in the S2 model.

I never realized that. Thanks for the education.
You're welcome. Out of print now, but I highly recommend a book titled 25 Years of Buell. Written by Dave Gess and Court Canfield. Well worth a read if you can find a copy. They sometimes appear on eBay.
