Now this bike looks sick.   Just wish I knew more about it.

I recognise Suzuki SACS motor, probably early GSXR1100 ( couldn't be bothered to count fins and find out)

Man those yellow nortons are nice.  Just found out today my dad used to have a norton that he got from my grandpa when he was 18 but had to sell it and his 71 baracuda for his first house.  He also showed me pics of some cb550's and 750's he had when I was growing up I barely remeber.  Man would have been awesome to have the norton my dad had.  Ill try to find a way to scan the pics.

Yea I like the basic idea too and the fact they used a dohc motor.  Its just the forst bike ive seen that looks like a modern chopper with a dohc motor.
