doesn't appear that there's enough room for all that in there.

You mean John Britten?
His bike had a Hossack style front end.

I like it a lot. Not conventionally pretty, but cute in the right places and very solid and looks like it wants to be ridden. Albeit not for long... :-)
##edit
Is that an S*R type udder??

"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 air—these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

Have to agree ducatiz wouldn't want to ride it any great distance but you would ice cool for the short while you were on it.

I either love it or meh.
Serious swamp ass. I mean royally swamp ass.
The seat makes me a bit nervous as it rolls right into the tank. Wax that tank too much and high the brakes too hard and you're sitting on the bars.
Overall it's a great take, I think. I'd like the seat sloped into the tank more, that's about it. Maybe the bump higher.
I love a 3 1/2 despite the crazy power:weight ratio.

I see them in Italy selling around €1000 for a well used running one, 75-79 models.. The Sport models for a little more €250 to 500 depending on condition
Saw a perfect perfect cherry Sport for €2000 at a swap meet and I still kick myself for not buying it.
