Just looks like an uglier 1200 Bandit.
Had to laugh at the 8000-16000 rpm tacho, like any big bore oil boiler is gonna get anywhere near 16k without blowing itself to bits.....

I like that sort of build and that engine looks good but I'd have a smaller seat unit, a better tank with proper sunken endurance fillers, decent single colour paint - so basically a different build.

Triumph dropped their trademark tank parcel grid in the late 1960s, after being sued by an American rider who “lost his manhood” in a crash.mangocrazy wrote: Thu Mar 28, 2024 10:16 pm I used to own a Honda CB77. It had a fuel tank that went vertically at 90 degrees from the seat for 3 or 4 inches before tapering off. I vividly remember seeing a photo of two indents in a CB77 tank that precisely corresponded to testicular imprints. That gave me food for thought.

Yeah I took it off the Bonnie There's even an official Triumph part number for the rubber bungs which go in the threaded holes left behind.
