Very pretty. With quite a patina by the looks of it. I am guessing that it is deliberately authentic and unrestored looking. I think it has considerable charm.

Re: A TRIUMPH TT SPECIAL
I started bikes in 72 when the British bike industry was on it's arse. I came in on Japanese two strokes,so that's where nostalgia lies with me. I never owned a Brit bike and the few I rode didn't impress the youthful me.
The bike above is ruggedly pretty,but it still doesn't make me want to own it,

Re: A TRIUMPH TT SPECIAL
When my Z1 rotted through it's standard pipes,I hacked off the silencers and just ran it with the headers. I was skint.
It wasn't as loud as you'd think,just sounded bad and ran worse.
