interesting bikes found randomly..

I aint not never seen a road registerd MGS before.

If a punter can get it though an SVA (or whatever they call it these days), makes you wonder why MG never made a road going version?

Look like MV mirrors with the indicators built in, a side stand (from another Guzzi with a similar engine), a crappy tail tidy and some head lamps behind the front mesh.

That's round the corner from me and head been for sale for at least 3 years

The engine is up on little legs!



Kawasaki Triple into Norton Featherbed has been done a few times. That’s better-looking than most.

That's going to wheelie for fun. The engine is so far back the crank is at the centre of wheelbase and quite high up.

Purple bikes are horrible... except when they are Kawasaki triples...

I'll make an exception for those, too.

It's only a Panigale, but I likes the paint job...

Only? Don't you mean....Panigale!

I do like black/yellow colour schemes though and that looks vv nice.

[KungFooBob]

I think Ducati are missing a trick not offering a factory yellow one.

[ChrisW]

Yellow has always been the best colour for all the good Italian vehicles, I've never been the biggest fan of the Red.

Ducks are red.
Suzukis are blue.

Them's the rules

[Count Steer]

Been wondering about this. As in, what on earth??! Is it actually supposed to be a rideable bike? How's that clutch lever work? Is there actually a front brake lever? etc etc

Oh...and hasn't she got long legs?

(The bike's still on that stand, I know Guzzi's are small but... )

Well, Suzukis are yellow too for quite a few of us

And pink. Don't forget pink.

How's that clutch lever work?

Could be as on many vintage bikes, where the lever pivots at the bar end and the cable runs through the bars.

From an engineering pov, your strongest fingers are at the end of the lever where they can have most effect.

Can't help you dear Count. I didn't get past the legs myself....

The odd bike was only a shallow ruse to feature the legs.

X5 ?

[KungFooBob]

TS/RM Suzuki's should be yellow (with blue frames).

Could be that for the clutch Hoss but I can't see a brake lever (there's something welded/brazed into the bar above the right hand but it doesn't look like a pivot) and they're discs...has there ever been a cable operated disc?
