Honda's  electric bike that they'll probably never make and if they did it wouldn't be sold in the states.

Well done.  Very minimal, good paint, and the mods are everywhere yet blend in very well.

Love that front end as well, searched high and low for it and found that Ohlins don't make it any more for the public  :'(  Norton must have exclusive rights to it now for their commando....  Love that engine...

Great. Now I want a toad!

Oh great, that's not an inspiration. I feel like dropping out of the race and dedicating my time to weeding gardens or similar not creative hobby.  :-[ :-[

Looking at all the inspiration form the thread I finally decided on this as my inspiration, so I might just have one, as long as Santa is happy with it!

Moto Morini went bust in 2010 but have recently been purchased and have started again, as of January 2012 they will be building bikes again.
A lot more trouble than a Honda but something awsome I think. 140bhp 1200cc and exotic.

That would be my guess RR.  Given the backgound crowd maybe an early 2.5L.

It may have been a bit of a lump, but they went like stink.  Had a 61 Etype (in 73 ;)), that blew off a 6 pack Duster through 3 gears.  It showed 145mph on the clock one night, and the factory claimed 155. ;D ;D ;D
