not into comics or anime, but seeing the honda four illustrated is pretty cool... 750?

Can you believe copper's used to drive Allegro's!!

Awesome, one of my favorite shows!

Stock is not always a bad thing...

This is an incredibly sexy bike. What year Triumph, etc?

[CBGhia]

I would honestly give up my left nut for that bike.

That's the Triumph Hurricane, designed by Craig Vetter who worked on the design from about 1970 until 1973, when Triumph started selling them. Lots more info on Vetter's website here: http://www.craigvetter.com/pages/Motorcycle_Designs/Hurricane_Pages/Main%20Hurricane%20page.html

And yes, he's the same guy who designed those Windjammer/Vindicator fairings that were so popular on SOHC4s in the seventies.

Thanks cowboy. I just love the lines formed by the tank flowing into the body trim and how the seat seems to be an integral part of the composition. Gives it a nice high, slightly aggro stance but still dignified. Brilliant.

I like my nuts but maybe a kidney.

wasn't there some talk about the head being flipped around on a sohc4,   who was that , i think it was Soos,
anyway , someone posted a link on why it's a really bad idea (on any bike)

looks awesome though

  There was a racer back in the late 60's I think that used to run Buick nailheads with the heads flipped, exhaust rolling out through stacks going through the hood.  Looked pretty wicked in a couple shots w/ flames coming out the hood!

Cant see why it would be bad, you would need a custom cam, and exhaust. The carbs would fit though, I think.

I ve been struggleing with my 750 project, I want to do a cafe' but I dont want to do a "cafe'" and be like everyone else. So I think I have just been inspired. I am officialy going to do a reverse head, ram air, exhaust under the seat cafe'! Coming to you soon in the project shop forum. Hey spike

Here's the thread

Problems might include cooling of EX valves and clearance for carbs up front

But hey, more power to you!  I look forward to a well documented account

So I just got done reading the entire thread, the 650 is hard, but the 750 is plausible. I'll start the build thread tomorrow after I get some good pictures.

That is a unique looking bike. Another white wall on the front would be nice.
