Bill, yes indeed that does look so "just right" - Is it the 650 Lightning ??
Over here in the UK there is much interest in the parallel twin scene: lots of guys are buying up Kwak W650 & old Yama XS650's, ~(the XS is another bike that I think has lovely lines to it)~.
I only own one British bike, it's a 6000 mile Triumph T595: bike sounds lovely with the "loud" pipe, and is totally unmarked and the first bike Ive bought for ages where all I've had to do is polish it :lol:
Re an earlier question re KZ1300 vs CBX engines: I just prefer the Freight Train torque, and how the big Zed makes its power; that, and its so imposing. That said, when you give the CBX some serious revs it does have a fantastic exhaust howl.
Cheers Tim

See that members have a vast range and collection of bikes and good to see a variation of taste. These are mine.

We built all the bikes
(the wife and my self)
we have lots of pic's of each build
The trike is a stock frame cut and stretched and the rear end is boxed to take a Harley servie car rear end
which gears are stock the way they were built back then
We started the trike last Jan but have put it on hold due to funds and taking to long rides this past year
