The prices for X75s have been sky high for years but you tend to see them at the regular british bike meets being used rather than mothballed. There was a company making replica bodywork that fitted on Twins (T120/T140), I thought about it for 5 secs and decided it was naff but I'd love a proper Rocket 3 based original

I suspect many people wouldn't believe it was like that out of the box. Love the look of them but I'd rather own a T160 Trident.

It's pig ugly, but you can see toned down bits of it in later Japanese bikes
