To start with, how about a Parilla 250cc Wildcat Scrambler?

Or a Parilla 250cc Gran Sport?

Now, I have to say that, right of, I know some of the AJSs, when I see them, but not always knowing these model designations.

AJS 7R SS

AJS Model 16-61

AJS Model -31-CSR-60(2)-1

Now, there IS this AJS 500cc Track Racer

Ecosse · « **Reply #3 on:** November 12, 2008, 09:24:15 PM »

Roma!

Ecosse · « **Reply #4 on:** November 12, 2008, 09:28:49 PM »

I have nooo idea what that first one is. I love this Bimmer though!

Back to the 'Trackers.

bill440cars · « **Reply #5 on:** November 12, 2008, 09:34:57 PM »

How about a Legendary 56' BSA Gold Star? (Folks made a lot of them into Flat Track Bikes)

63' BSA Rocket Gold Star (similar look of the Gold Star, but with a 650cc Twin engine)

BSA Firebird Scrambler

BSA Hornet (Obvious what it was for, huh?)

Not sure what it is either, may be able to figure it out by the emblem n the tank, maybe. $:-\$

You'll have to excuse me Bill, sometimes I just have to do a bit of browsing of the older bikes and get it out of my system for a bit.

I know what ya mean. I've been thumbing through my classic Brit magazines lately. Although I kinda like the idea of hopping up a Honda 650Hawk but kitty needs dental work and car needs brakes... and 550 needs attention, and so on.

Sorry to crash in.

That first one is a DKW Roarer I think.. supposedly loudest race bike made !

Can someone please post a pic of a Ducati 250 Mach 1... often called the Ultimate lightweight Sporting Single.. had one when I was a kid, and found one butchered into a flattracker , hasd that one about6 years ago..

HavocTurbo · « **Reply #9 on:** November 12, 2008, 10:23:49 PM »

1966 Duc 250 Mach 1

Ecosse · « **Reply #10 on:** November 12, 2008, 10:53:31 PM »

1969 CZ 360

Don't know what the consensus is here about MX but this is such a nice example.

HavocTurbo · « **Reply #11 on:** November 12, 2008, 10:59:13 PM »

Here's these...

Ecosse · « **Reply #12 on:** November 12, 2008, 11:08:18 PM »

Nice MX finds Havoc! Like the Duc too!

Bill, those AJS's are things of beauty; my favorites are the first blue one and the last black one.

OK, a few more and I'll leave you alone. Those trackers are getting lonely.

HavocTurbo · « **Reply #13 on:** November 13, 2008, 01:31:02 AM »

Not to thread hijack but my personal favorite NON Honda....

Had to get one... I love it.

1984-85 Kawasaki "GPZ" ZX750E1/E2 Turbo

bill440cars · « **Reply #14 on:** November 13, 2008, 05:44:53 AM »

754, I just came back on this morning and it seems that I've been beat posting this photo of that Ducati you asked for.

When I am not here, Bill seems to run away with his posting

and now, h's getting help

Ha!Ha!

I'm going to have to work overtime just to try to catch up.

So, how about this Mach I?

754 · « **Reply #15 on:** November 13, 2008, 05:57:14 AM »

Thanks for the Mach 1 pics, think the first should have a red frame.. .. cool bikes. that butchered one I had went to New Zealand... a few years back..
I saw a Husky twin in real life, very cool bike..

bill440cars · « **Reply #16 on:** November 13, 2008, 06:06:38 AM »

Man

You all have done a lot of work while I was sleeping!

Great stuff too, I might add!

And HavocTurbo, no highjacking with that one!

Thanks for including it.

Now:

754 You are dead on about that one bike being a DKW.

Same emblem:

   Some examples:
   1939

   SS250

1936

1963 Ducati Daytona (curiously, I found that the Ducati Diana was renamed the Daytona.

Have no idea why.

Okay Bill, I'm off of this one for a while, but I don't know how long.

Maybe he divorced Diana and took a side trip to Daytona to get over her.......

Kinda curious, isn't it?

bill440cars · « **Reply #18 on:** November 13, 2008, 08:17:35 AM »

Bill, I just had to post these "Hybrids", when I found them. I knew about some, but the others I didn't.

Greevesfield (Greeves- Royal Enfield)

250 NSU-Norton (NSUManx engine in a Norton frame) A waste, in MY opinion!

Norvin (Vincent engine in a Norton frame) BEAUTIFUL!

Norton JAP V-Twin

Of course, the Triton! (Wish the photo was bigger!)

Unity Norbstar (anybody heard of this one? What is it, hard to tell from photo. Norton/BSA/? ? Just a guess)

Got some more I'll post later on. Bill

Ecosse · « **Reply #19 on:** November 13, 2008, 10:21:16 AM »

Good call on the DKW guys! I'm a big Auto Union fan but didn't know they had their hands in my other passion- bikes! Time to read up.

Norvins seem to be popular; I think there's someone in the US building them now.

And JAP motors must be something as I know Morgan used them in their cycle cars. Ecosse loves cycle cars.

I must admit I feel a tad disloyal to my Japanese girl, now tucked away, with all this time at the computer looking at Olde Euro/Anglo and vintage race bikes. I'll get over it.

Great pix guys.

Bill, Maybe this one will make up for it. This is one of my favorite Hondas. Long Live The Super Hawk!

Sorry, these aren't even motorcycles! Well, to many... legally they are. Are those JAP engines in the first picture?

BTW Bill, thanks for the Super Hawk image. It eases my conscience.

bill440cars · « **Reply #22 on:** November 13, 2008, 11:17:25 AM »

Bill asked:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

Bill, I believe those are JAP engines, but I can't be sure.

As far as the Super Hawk goes, I figured it might help ease your conscience AND give ME a shot in the arm, to try and find time AND the space, to work on MY poor old Super Hawk project (among others).

Ecosse · « **Reply #23 on:** November 13, 2008, 12:34:21 PM »

Ah ha... found it. Builders of Norvin and Egli- Vincent replicas.

Tell me that isnt the coolest little v-twin youve ever seen???
