Without cheating, who can tell me what this bike started out life as?

I don't really think I want to know...

A hand drill.

Ok, a clue.

It's a Honda (well was a Honda) v-twin.

I helped restore a Scott Flyer when I was a kid. I also owned a bike built in Cleckheaton.

That's like the bastard love child of a TMAX and a Hippo

Give me something with a brown seat quick

Still looks way better than the customised version.

And fewer sharp edged sticky out bits too.

Just looks practical and useable to me.

Comfy, weather protection, built in luggage. Bit of a Deauville really.

S'ok if that's what's needed.
