i'm not big into street fighters, most look like crap!

i'm sorry but it needed to be said. this one i like.

oh come on ecosse, have you ever had the chance to see a speed triple in person, let alone ride one?? omg, they're beautiful!!! but i'm a big fan of naked bikes, and SOME streetfighters... being an engineer, i tend to like to see the inner workings of a project rather than cover it up with plastic!!

but great posts, you always find the coolest crap!

I like this one.

Check out the bike! The small headlight is really good looking on there.

i'm with ya on the naked bikes but those speed triples are factory 'streetfighters' not so called real ones. it's a marketing term for the manufacturers like they use cafe. to me it's an oxymoron like a factory 'chopper'.

but choppers, cafe, street fighter or just plane stock: bikes are about purity of purpose. i can imagine how much you engineer types must salivate over them.

That's a good looking bike, however I don't care much for the front forks tho...

thank you for those pics ecosse, MUCH appreciated!! i agree with you about the misuse of motorcycle build types, and cafe should not be used on a factory bike, neither should streetfighter or chopper. i do, however, like the term "bully" for the speed triple, and it did set a standard for a pretty large following and style of bike builds, so impressive nonetheless. but RIDE ONE if and when you get the chance!!! :-D

and ya, the first post of yours, SEXY BIKES. i retract my statement about fully faired bikes, haha! bonneville doesn't count though

Nice bike, Ecosse. Love those Dymag wheels, and the retro solid brake rotors.

That was a mock-up made for an ad that appeared in Brit bike magazines of the 1970s. I believe it was for a tire company, Dunlop I think.

The copy was that if you soup up your bike - don't overlook the tyres - Buy Dunlop

Something like that anyway.

It was an ad for Dunlop. The tag line was "Is your engine overtaking your tyres?" I have the ad on my garage wall, pulled from an old copy of MCN.
