^^^^ Agree. Sometimes this guy is good - fluid dynamics of expansion chambers comes to mind. But then a blowhard when creating an obvious "entertainment" slam of a poor, little VT500. Sprocket and chain "windage"? WTF?

Interesting motorcycles, not XS650

One for UK members, mostly.
Nope. Love Wallace & Grommet!
I believe they have a large USA audience.
Still looks great IMHO. And with some intake/carb/ exhaust tinkering most likely a lot more interesting.
The Yamaha SCR 950 from a few years ago is sort of similar btw...

I'd have an Ascot tomorrow if one turned up in decent shape. I think the big four could do worse than throw their middleweight V-twins in a standard style bike. I still search for a VX800 once in awhile. Talk about a bike that just up and disappeared..
Several friends had 500 Shadows back in the day. That little motor punched above its weight.
Harley's 750 vee out of the Street series comes to mind as well.

Hmmm
Universal appeal if you want to spend 20-30 minutes enjoying claymation mastery. 3 or 4 VERY good Wallace and Gromet short films. The moon is made of cheese afterall.

"A Close Shave."
Been to China many times (work), starting in 1989 when things were very different. In the early days, before a lot of modernization on all fronts, there was a form of "tractor"...this reminded me of that.
I called them "Gravely's", as they looked similar i.e. a two-wheeled contraption with a motor, handlebars and a little trailing dolly, and behind that, whatever you can imagine...a delivery trailer, liquid tank, a concrete mixer, ad infinitum. Not that they didn't have big trucks, but this was the "every man" work vehicle. I'll see it I can find a pic.
Kinda like this, although this is a more "modern ' version. The original ones I saw had some kind of a exposed drive on one side i.r. belt, centrifugal clutch, aso.
More traditional version showing belt drive

Needs a XS650 motor...... Forum help please "a xs650 motor" or "an XS650 motor"???
An interesting dilemma.
Technically, since X is not a vowel, "a" is correct. However, when spoken the X sounds like a vowel - ehks - so "an" sounds correct.
I tend to spell as if I'm speaking so I'd use "an".
