    And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

    I think its cool because in 1957 it could do speeds that the MotoGP guys are doing now...

    and it was half of the motor size...

    Here's a pretty damn good replica.

    Only 200,000 quid.

    These are quite cool too...

    I quite like these, but I recall reading somewhere that the undersling worm gear drive was a bit weak on them, requiring a fair bit of maintenance:

    I read that too, and rather than make the final drive stronger, it was easier for BSA to detune the motor.
    Do you see the (slight) family resemblance with the new Rocket III?
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.

    Ok, I am putting on my flame suit, and here to say...

    I don't like the Britten!

    Honestly, I know it kicked ass, but seriously, it looks like crap.

    There, done, hope you don't all hate me

    And also, my vote is either on the Silver R1, or the Triumph Daytona 600, so damn cool...

    Yes the Laverda 750 a mate has the S and is it a wicked wee bike to ride typical awesome brakes and handling they rev like a 2 stroke, the fuel tank runs the length of the bike from the tail piece but do have there problems..... weak in a few places, but ya cant have it all.
