Not really a forerunner to the Africa Twin as the engines are significantly different.MyLittleStudPony wrote: ↑Thu Sep 07, 2023 6:14 pm Honda XLV750. I had no idea they existed.

Blundering about trying not to make too much of a hash of things.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
See so many of these light units on 125cc "cafe racers" also fitted with the obligatory brown seat (courtesy of Wish or Alibaba). When fitted to any large cc bike, it ruins them for me because of that connection.Count Steer wrote: ↑Thu Sep 07, 2023 1:01 pm The headlight? It's round, with lights in, mounted in the fairing.
Wossa problem? Looks OK to me.

Getting a big, (top) heavy lump like that Laverda onto a paddock stand on gravel would have been fun to watch, but not to do.

Tried to find one of these several times, as being a shafty i reckoned they'd make a superb commuter, but there were never any about when I was looking.MyLittleStudPony wrote: ↑Thu Sep 07, 2023 6:14 pm Honda XLV750. I had no idea they existed.

Re: interesting bikes found randomly..
I like the idea of a 'centre stand' that's pretty much at the end of the bike. What is it that makes people think half a bike with a rear wheel following behind somewhat as an afterthought is a
design?(I'll ignore the part in front of the centre stand).
