How about a new Vincent?  ;D This is the prototype produced by Bernie Li a few years ago.

Forgive me, but I have a soft spot for two-strokes...

Yes, it's missing the front fender. So kill me!

Lukey - I'm a sucker for that Yamaha Kenny Roberts paint scheme.  Thanks for posting her!

This was my old 1976 Honda CB 550F SuperSport.  I found it online a few years and a few people later.  I had the seat custom made in trade.  I rode this bike down - probably did 80,000-100,000 miles on it as a primary vehicle for commute and pleasure for about 6 years.

No, sorry! Rats! It was for sale on Craigslist a week ago but I went back tonight and the posting is gone... [bang]

Okay, this is a bit of a thread-cheapener, but it's good for a laugh:



Can you say "Inappropriately named album"?

For the record, I had two Vespas before...at least they're Italian!

I love Guzzi cafe racers.


Hands down, this is my #1 fav cafe!  What is this though???  I love Guzzi cafe's too but can't figure this one out?  The frame & rear suspension doesn't look like any Guzzi model I can think of.  Anyone know what it is?

+1 - can anyone ID this Guzzi?  I think it may be a custom job.

it is definitely a custom job, the head looks like a V700 later model head but the right one has something on it which looks added -- oil line?

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.
