if the MV Agusta wins "best tank design" ever, the roundcase GT/SS 750 is first place for engine design and beauty.

Somebody delete this heretic.

The best tank design is the V7 Sport and it's successors.

mv agusta, v7 sport/lemans, ducati roundcase, all beautiful!

I think this story about the Lemans II built by Rich Cutler in the UK is an interesting read with very nice photos.

1964 Gilera Sei Giorni unrestored, it even has the little decals still on the Akront rims.

I built this Suzuki Savage with a Ryca kit last fall and really enjoyed the process. A bit of frame cutting was involved but no welding (a good thing since I have no welder) and some mods to the steel tank and rear wheel hub. The end result is a compact and very light bike with surprisingly good handling and speed. http://www.rycamotors.com/

Not Italian, Guzzi or even strictly cafe. But they're mine and I think they're cool

Mad Mac · « **Reply #319 on:** November 08, 2012, 07:14:19 PM »

A Honda 305 Dream I'm guessing and the Yamaha RD350, two iconic motorcycles.
I should never have sold my RD400F Daytona Special.

Actually "batteries" - two 4-cell Ballistic Li-Fe batteries. One under tank between frame rails and the other just inboard of starter hanging from left lower frame.

Tank is from Legendary Motorcycles.

Thanks!
Your racer looks quite nice.

@ mad Mac, actually the RD 350 is right but the Honda is a 1966 cb160 sport

Streethawk · « **Reply #325 on:** November 09, 2012, 11:52:58 AM »

My '70 Suzuki T250. Still and probably always a work in progress. Think I'm going to make it street legal again this winter. We'll see...

Thank you for correcting my guess. It is still an iconic example of an early Honda twin.
