Both 4 valves? Having two pipes makes for a simpler cylinder head casting?
Some were (pre-war), but it was mostly fashion, I think.Herewith gratuitous pic of her indoors with her XBR500.

Had a couple of weeks off work so I decided to design my own paddock stands. Should make packing the van or stillage a bit easier.

Cheers. There certainly loads of tts came out and said they don’t have troubles with storing them and so on but I certainly can see the benefits. ts but there’s also loads of people who said nice things too which is good! Not even fussed if I sell any to be honest, I just wanted to make more space in my van!

Most folk with vans probably don't struggle for space, but I imagine anyone using a trailer + car would find that a bit easier. It's also a nice bit of well-made kit, regardless of whether you need the space it's sometimes nice to have snazzy things.

Wow - looks totally different without the horrid fairing & legshields.Still needs a big flat lens headlight rather than what looks like a Superdream pattern one.
I had to look twice. Thought it was a V50.

Dragged the bike out and washed the dust off it
Then put it away again
Loving the look of these. For the last 10 years I have had an 01 FJR1300 that is in great condition, well looked after and mechanically sound with every extra but worthless because of age to the point that i'll be lucky to get £1k for it if i trade it in. Anyways, the internet surfing itch is strong for one of these and i am going to test one when we are allowed out to play again. Then put it away again
Never owned a Kwak either but my Autotrader search is set for green ones only!

Really like this. I've recently been regretting buying an all black helmet and want something brighter but it'll have to wait for now
i go with the notion that you wanna be as bright and colourful as possible to stand out that bit more lol. It's getting on a bit now so is due replacement anyways I guess, but I'm gutted that's its not complete anymore

There seems to be a lack of really lairy helmets these days. I lost the side plate (that covers the visor mechanism) off my favourite Suomy the other day on the way to work and I don't know what to replace it with

You tried reaching out to them to see if they might happen to have a piece knocking about somewhere??? you might be able to get a blank and have it painted up to match the other side? lovely lid that is tho!It's getting on a bit now so is due replacement anyways I guess, but I'm gutted that's its not complete anymore
