Interesting motorcycles, not XS650

That's a jewel. T160?


My Daytona(Louisiana Lady) had 6 oil filter screens in total.
No leaks.
2x VM34's and ran good(Amals were garbage). Handling was the best bike I have every owned.

Dumped the $65 lucas diode for a cheap $25 japanese after a few lessons, in 1977.

Yes a T160, I also have a 69 T100R Daytona almost done restoring it.

Pushing the retro image yet very modern in appearance, yet compared to some of the other modern twins, like the Yam XS or others it doesn't look bad. Be interesting to see how it holds up with plated aluminum cylinders.

Even squinting, I just can't see a T500 in that though.

1QST BIKE WAS A sUZOOK x6 SO LIKE THE BRAND. THIS ONE IS FUGLY. too much plastic hangin' from the rad,engine frt. of tank,etc. Until thjapanese learn what styling is from the Guzzi,Triumph,R.E. brands they wiull continue to have showroom homing pigeons IMO

If you’d like to see and hear Jay Leno’s jet bike , here is a clip of his Y2K bike. How does 1 gallon of jet fuel every 8 miles grab ya?

This one just confused me. I don't look up allot of bikes on this post but when I do I usually find some information on the engine, that's what interests me on allot of rare bikes. I still don't know i think it's a 2 cylinder 850ish. I don't know configuration or anything else if that's even right.

Bimota started building frames for Jap superbikes back in the days when they didn't handle. I don't think they ever had a Bimota-branded engine? That's an air-cooled Ducati 900 L-twin out of the 900SS.

The problematic two stroke twin was Bimota.
