Interesting motorcycles, not XS650

Greetings All,

I had occasion to visit the Deeley Motorcycle Exhibition (https://deeleyexhibition.ca/) in Vancouver, BC this past weekend. Here are some of the bikes that caught my eye. There were of course a lot more, many of which are not on display all the time. There are approximately 250 bikes in the collection, which are displayed on rotation, about 40 bikes at a time. A worthwhile visit, IMO.

That looks like the TZ700 two-stroke Kenny ran on dirt track until it was banned?

IIRC It ran only once at the Indiana mile for a come fom behind win. In an interview I recall, Kenny said he had to back off for some of the race because he / it was chunking the rear tire. Then near the end he rode the high side berm to win.

He also said that they didn't pay him enough to ride it. It was a beast.

@Wagner73 asked my for any bike recommendations so here goes:

1. SCRAMBLER 1200XE
SCRAM 1200XE.PNG

The daddy of our Scrambler range. 1200cc of grunt, tall in stature and great looks.

2. STREET TRIPLE 765RS
ST 765RS.PNG

A scalpel of a road bike with 130hp to play with. Awsome brakes and chasis ability. Much more manageable than the 183hp Speed Triple!

3. ROCKET STORM 111R

2500cc of three cylinder torque fest! With the best chasis of any big bike cruiser. Runs rings arounds a Harley D.

4. TRIUMPH (OSET) TXP24 ELECTRIC BIKE

Just a total hoot to ride off road with instant power and agility. (Shit brakes off a mountain bike mind! Upgrade needed).

Many thanks @Adamc! If I go down this modern bike road I think something like the Scrambler could be the ticket. I've liked the Scrambler line ever since I saw my first one ~15 years ago, and of course my first bike was a '70 T100C! Cheers!

Beautiful bike. Almost bought one back in the 90s. Wish I had, really.

Hopefully, one day before I am too old to ride the thing, I want to buy a Les Williams Legend.

Both bikes/versions very cool! I had two friends that owned Tridents back in the day and I always wanted one...it just never happened for some reason (or maybe two reasons, CB750 & KZ900:))

Did you ever wonder what it would be like to really ride a 100 year old motorcycle?
