Don't look what the Superlights are fetching, I wished I'd bought one when they were dirt cheap.

Without being too harsh to the fans of them, they've never been on my hit-list. Even after riding IanBs one I certainly didn't get off it wanting one.

A mate of mine had a blue version of this many years ago. I remember it as having better handling and brakes than any Jap offering of the day. The finish lasted about 2 weeks from new!

I don't think it's for sale, it was just a boasty post, and why not, it's lovely.

Kawasaki 750cc two stroke square four.
Never heard of this one, mostly cos it never went into production.
Not the best looking bike either but its different and came about some time before Suzuki made the Gamma 500.

Cosworth Twin.
Company I used to work for was part of the same group as Cosworth. One of the directors was being shown around, saw the engine casings on a shelf, asked what they were, then could he have them?

Basically was told "Yes, but don't come back for help"

He had a frame built, EFI designed, brought over Gary Flood (I think) over from Oz to work on it - even built an extension on his house for a workshop.

But end result was, amongst others, winning Daytona BOTT.

No idea where it is now.
Even bland can be a type of character :wave:
