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.

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.
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.

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.
