Yarp.

Some cooling fins and a fake push rod tunnel, but the same basic motor.

Just did a quick Google - a respectable 50-54hp and reliable. I assume you like it?

(I've ridden something with the F in but not the G).

I do, it's got a good chunk more poke than my Bullet 500 EFI (45bhp rather than 30bhp, 50% more!) and it looks the part. It's only just run in, but it's a nice enough motor for that style of bike.

Loads of nice/interesting stuff at Krazy Horse but I couldn't be arsed to take pictures, except of this as we parked next to it. Nice RG

One for me and one for @IccyV2
.

As usual there were some interesting bikes at last night's bike night.
I can't remember when I last saw a OWO1 on the road,this one was immaculate



Can't remember the last time I saw a Malagutti either..



My favourite Ducati,this 851 SP was immaculate,the owner also has a non SP back in the garage.



The CBX is a rare sight these days,this one had a 'patina' about it



Nice ride out & catch up with some of my mates

Yeah, but that's an OW-02.

Thirty five years old, so it's putting on a bit of heft like we all do

It's so long since I last saw one I got confused

For me the R7, the proper R7 not the parallel twin happy shopper, is one of the best looking bikes ever made. Although the R1 looks similar it's no where near as pure looking a design.

About 25 years ago when I helped my mate racing his Yamaha powered MuZ there was a BMW powered single racer that was as quick as the MuZ, so it was putting out about 70 bhp.

One of the local indy bike shops posted on Friendface some pics of a bike they'd had in for a service...

With a different seat it would be pretty cool, imho.
It would have started life looking like this...

It ain't no Benelli.

Thank god, that Benelli is all over the place styling wise.

I think you're referring to, ' the character ' of the bike.

That's the best use of a CX500 I've seen.

Not looking good for landing proper big jumps
