CB125, 125T tank, RV90 wheels, can’t place the shock absorbers.
Don't you look at my accountant.

Of course! I pull out his picture when I'm under the covers at night, with my torch and polishing rag.
Nah - it was your reference to Top Gun and then your reference to dyslexia that prompted me to post that.
Something like that is right. Looks like this one has been hotted up a bit, with performance pipe and carb, then mutated into something weird....
This is a bit more sane, and recognisable (although F5 Dave seems to recognise them fairly readily):
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.
Or maybe not...
Dunno really....

... and this one is not a classic, is very recognisable, but needs a coupla "ladies of the night" leaning on it.

Bit more palatable, frame looks a bit suss. Saw a VTR due for introduction to a Husqvana frame for a hill-climb bike. Must ask if it was ever finished.
The purple one is hideous, neat supercharger though.
This one's reall purdy, bound to be a classic.

I think the frame is standard VTR250, apart from mods for the single-sided swingarm.
Neat?!?
I think it's horrendous, and I'm worried about the effect of supplying extra needies to the VTR crankcases, which experience from racing suggests can't handle more'n 125 before they stampede through the stable doors, as it were.
Waddarya - freakin' blind?!? Or was that sarcasm? ANd what the hell is that? And what on earth kind of weird powerplant is that?
... and that's what I think.

VTR2fiddy, Didn’t look close enough & thought the return rad hose was an artistic attempt at frame downtube. Oops.
Ah you have to appreciate the sheer violence of a supercharger. I’d be more concerned with that flailing belt & pulleys than the bottom end.
yeah just T.T.P.
The Prillia (no relation to Aprillia). Don’t think this otherwise classic race bike producer manufacturer had this in mind though.

Fortunately bikes like that are ever spared the likelihood of being ridden.
V4 hondas. They were real racing classics eh? V for Victory Isle of Man videos, oh the sound blah blah
Don’t think this is what Honda had in mind though.
Yes it is a V4 with C50 barrels
Don't you look at my accountant.

V4, or V2? Looks more like the latter. But the real question is, "Why?"
... and that's what I think.

Something in the water?
Guess you can’t have a classic thread without a Harley picture. Here’s probably my fav Harley. Love to turn up to a HOG meeting on one of these beauties. In the wind Brother. Grrr.

I don't reckon there is a right answer to this but I reckon there are two (or three?) types of "classic". Ie "That is a classic design", or "That is a Classic"..or even "a man walks into a bar and the bar tender says etc etc" and ya laff and laff at the "classic" joke.
So which is it? Well I guess an Audi TT is a classic design but not yet a classic. An MV F4 is a classic design but not yet a classic. A Classic I reckon has to earn it's title via what some call "patina" (otherwise known as being worn out....) or something like that...
The car world has some more strict definitions - Veteran being pre WWI, WWI-WWII = Vintage, and then anything (usually) older than 25 years = classic. For example to compete in the Pirelli Classic Car Rally in the South Isalnd the rule state you car has to be 25 years old or older (ie their definition of a Classic) to enter. Car clubs have different ideas but generally it's around this mark.
With bikes its bit harder I reckon 'cause in 1968 you had FAST COOL cars like E-Types, Ferrari Dinos and Porsche 911s....but bikes were a bit behind (I think anyway). So if we say bikes must be 25 years old or older we're kind of keeping out a lot of cool bikes.
Eye of the beholder and all that in the end - but for me if it's got two wheels and a motor and the owner enjoys it then thats classic. And possibly a Classic.

Ahh - the Aermacchi days...
... and that's what I think.
Or summat.

This 'road' enough for ya?
I like smoke and lightning
Heavy metal thunder
Racin' with the wind
