From what I can see, it looks like it started out life as a 77 or 78 CB550.
Love that Italian style exhaust.

what is "Queens English" ?

I love them English and Aussies, y'all thems the only folks that can understand Emerican right off the boat. I'll hire any of them jokers anytime. They say the funniest stuff constantly...and very crafty types too.

Just a few examples,

hood,
trunk,
fender,
tripple tee,
aluminum,
gas.

These are just a few words that you have changed to suite youselves.
By the time you have finished messing about, you end up confusing yourselves and the rest of the English speaking world of which there are 52 countries.

Please explain the meaning of your word for the fuel valve that sits under your fuel tank, I think you call it a petcock. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Isn't it simple English?: pet short for petrol (English for gas) and cock is a simple synonym for valve.

Similar to ballcock or steam cock.

This setup, would provide more HP but would it produce a higher speeds at top end? I am thinking not.. So
the dual motors are just for show correct?

Assuming that it "worked" that is handled well and wouldn't spit the rider off at some speed or another, more HP = quicker and faster. Its just that with todays technology, a single engine design of the same displacement is a better solution.

But that dually is a nice example.

HArd to beat a stock Hayabusa. Besides being able to put some soft bags on it and go cross country. Quicker and Faster.
