Hi Is it a bathtub?
Regards Stew

Yep that is a 1962 Triumph 5TA Speed Twin (Bathtub) you either like them or you hate them. I like them and they are a bit rare these days as most people threw away the bathtub parts. But today there aren't to many around with the original tinware still on them. A bit of an ugly duckling but it does get some attention when its out and about as most people have never seen one of these bikes.

Mine's mostly stock.  The 4-1 was on it already when I bought it.  Non-stock mods were getting the single front rotor drilled, s/s brake line, rear shocks, handlebars, and mirrors.  Cosmetic differences were limited to getting the engine cases, valve covers, oil filter cover, and case guards powdercoated.  I picked it up a few months ago, still has less than 7K miles on it.  Great riding bike, and makes a nice howling noise when you rev it up to redline!

I knew that Honda made a CB650/4 but I have never seen one on the road. Maybe they didn't ship to Australia but I could be wrong.
