love those little Japanese air-cooled parallel twin engines--built by the zillions to a low price point--from back when I was in high school ...
especially when someone makes a cool motorcycle with one ... :love

we had fun recently talking to an enthusiastic 20-year-old, who stopped to say hi while we were unloading the bikes at the garage in Lower Haight.

told us all about how he's putting a new top-end on his old GS500 ...
jolly kid made my day ... god bless our youth. :laughing:ride

Sick. I have a soft spot for "large" displacement (ie, above 750cc) UJM four poppers. Especially Suzukis. :ride

 

[ironhead_jay]

we have a couple here in SF

'78 ironhead

'76 shovelhead

wife's '96 sportster

all the bikes have changed a bit since these photos, as they always do.

I could live with this RSD R18...

Well, probably not... looks totally uncomfortable, but sometimes that's the price for being stylish!

LOTSA red + mono shock - the drilled side stand is ace

Those the same sidestands that keep popping up in the "Wish" ads that pepper my bookface feed? :laughing

A W800 Street Tracker...

Niiice....

I like this!

I like this!

Me too! I want it. Sometimes it's the little things like micro switch gear that can really clean up a bike.

 

[W800]

Not sure if this counts. It's a stock 2019 W800 Cafe. Only changes are removed some decals, removed reflectors, changed tires, removed front fender, and put on some JDM mirrors. The factory seat is two-tone leather.

 

[Johndicezx9]

You bet it counts!

If you thought we’d never see another street-legal two-stroke sportbike, you’re not alone. There hasn’t been a full-size two-stroke motorcycle for the street in the United States since the Yamaha RZ350 of the mid-1980s. Langen Motorcycles, situated in Wigan, between the English cities of Manchester and Liverpool, is working to change that—at least on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. The new Langen Two Stroke will make its public debut at the Salon Privé in less than a week, but we have a first look at the bespoke motorcycle.
