Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
It's the 650 twin.
Two header pipes and that egg shaped bottom end.
That and I've got the 500 and the motor looks nuffing like that.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
Nope, the Inty and the Conti GT are both the same bike, just different styling.
The 750 Inty went out of production in 1970.

I think its a carbon fibre fairing and the RHS clip-on is causing a shadow.

They did twin cylinder bikes in 496 (“500 Twin” and Meteor Minor), 696 (Super Meteor and Constellation) and 736 cc (Interceptor).ogri wrote: Tue Aug 24, 2021 9:35 pmScrap that just looked properly, they did do some 650/750's back in the day (interceptor?) .
There may have been an early 696 cc version of the Interceptor. Can’t remember.

A lot of time and effort to make something look like it might be fast, even though it never will be !

It doesn't look like there's too much been buggered about with either - plastics, paint, rearsets and exhaust look like the only changes, oh and it might have a fancy rear shock
