So can you tell what it is?

Z900owner · « **Reply #1 on:** October 02, 2012, 10:29:50 AM »

My guess is it's a 1977 CB750 F2 Super Sport, Single overhead cam,

Is there a prize?????

Close - but no cigar - it is DEFINITELY a 1979 Z Kwaka - now - about that prize!

Cheers, Diesel

Sorry guys your going to have to try harder...

Honda 4 in-line 750 maybe 1978

alphafang · « **Reply #5 on:** October 03, 2012, 01:50:45 AM »

Nope it's not a Honda.......

Do you need a clue yet?

STeveo · « **Reply #6 on:** October 03, 2012, 07:12:31 AM »

Kawasaki Z750 twin?

alphafang · « **Reply #7 on:** October 03, 2012, 07:21:54 AM »

Sorry STevo it's not a Kawasaki either.......want that clue yet?

terrydj · « **Reply #8 on:** October 03, 2012, 07:37:15 AM »

Hmmmm me thinks the taillight on the duck-tales not standard, and that Bikini fairing up front is Suss as well, so no idea??????

Diesel · « **Reply #9 on:** October 03, 2012, 08:10:10 AM »

That's because it's a Suzuki 750

gimme the prize, GIMME THE PRIZE!!!!!!

Diesel · « **Reply #10 on:** October 03, 2012, 08:16:58 AM »

OK - clue time pls.

saaz · « **Reply #11 on:** October 03, 2012, 09:08:47 AM »

I could say but that would be cheating. A clue might be a low volume British bike that did not last that long

Ahhh but the taillight on the 1980 750 goes right across and is not like the brick stuck on the back of the one in the picture that's just in the middle?
And that rear shock is definitely Suss and I'm sure theirs a Bikini fairing up front

Tipsy · « **Reply #13 on:** October 03, 2012, 09:35:48 AM »

py
Maybe its a Bennelli

Tipsy

alphafang · « **Reply #14 on:** October 03, 2012, 11:02:48 AM »

Cheers Saaz for not telling, but it's real unfair trying to lead the guys off the scent,

it's still in production and a 1200 version is on the market now. But not a lot of people know that.....

Low volume for sure.
OH and it's a V twin.

STeveo · « **Reply #15 on:** October 03, 2012, 01:06:41 PM »

Hesketh???

"WOW" and a V Twin with a single exhaust out the left hand side??????
Honda made a GS 670 V Twin motor that had an exhaust out the left side but not in a Motorcycle me thinks
Got the same rear end as a XJ 550 Yamaha but its a twin not a V Twin so got me stumped

Me thinks that 2. The only V Twin I could think of that's kinda still being made with an exhaust out the left hand side

Brock · « **Reply #18 on:** October 03, 2012, 02:32:55 PM »

Is it a Motogutsy?????

Dab55 · « **Reply #19 on:** October 03, 2012, 07:20:58 PM »

Me thinks it is definitely a Hesketh V1000. Probably a 2003 model

atoyot · « **Reply #20 on:** October 03, 2012, 08:50:41 PM »

My money's on a Hesketh; the tailpeice and rear guard gives it away.

alphafang · « **Reply #21 on:** October 04, 2012, 12:15:02 AM »

Well done fellas you got it it's an Hesketh.
Nice bike I could have bought it for £15K but the owner dissed my Pan so no sale.....

Sabie · « **Reply #22 on:** October 04, 2012, 01:20:12 AM »

I have a new one for you..........

I purchased one brand new in the 1980's, water cooled, sharft drive twin, twin exhaust.

This is an easy one.

alphafang · « **Reply #23 on:** October 04, 2012, 01:43:45 AM »

Yamaha XZ 550 by any remote chance????

Right click on the picture and look what it says for save as.......sorry.

Sabie · « **Reply #24 on:** October 04, 2012, 11:29:47 AM »
