916 vs Black lightning

I need to get my eyes checked, I always thought that was brown,
not green.

Actually, IIRC the little 650 sibling was pretty neat when it
first came out. Metalflake green, I think (now you'll tell me it was brown).

Talking of prices, the Ducati 750 SS has been in a couple of peoples
lists. Here's a link to a (serious) for sale ad:
http://www.bevelheaven.com/bikes4sale/TA-750SS/

 

I think it was the original GW test in Bike way back in 1976 or so were
they had the comment that Honda had originally intended to call it the
Lead Wing, until they noticed that gold was heavier...

My personal preferences would include a Ducati's TT2, the '73 750 Sport
(with the black bits on the engine and forks I think it's actually
better looking than the Super Sport, and the colour is better), Triumph
T160 (from the side it really looks good), Norton 750 Fastback, Guzzi's
Le Mans I, the early Jotas, the list goes on and on.

The Guggenheim museum in New York had an exhibition several years ago
entitled "The Art of the Motorcycle". It went on tour to the various
Guggenheim sites in the US & Europe, but unfortunately I never made it
to any of them. The catalogue is a bloody big thick book, full of some
of the best photos of bikes you will see. Well worth digging up on one
of the old book sites on the net.

/Steve in Denmark, who may own one or more of the bikes mentioned..

It even has the fibreglass tank of which I spoke. Absolutely glorious.

 

It isn't £70k for me though

 

and I would agree - preferably in red/white/purple.

 

I can only assume you've typoed 'green/purple'.

 

Is that really worth £70K? I think I need to get some valuations done.

Bonhams?

That seems to have gaylord graphics up the side.

Not to be confused with

yeah, I do prefer it without the "Ninja" bollocks.

Nice enough, if you're gay enough to ride a green bike.

 

Gaylord purple bodywork and wheels.

Nice job. Did the nuts come out ok?

 

He hasn't bred, so yes,

 

Only for looks - the B34 was a pile of pretty scap metal. On of my old
mates lightened, 'adjusted' heads, fitted 1" Monoblocs, bumped-up
compression atio, tripled oilflow, fed oil into both ends of crankshaft,
improved gearbox and made Dural big-ends for a T35 Mk5 Douggie.

Lost a DBD B34 on the M1.

 

Fell off the recovery wagon?
