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

That's because it's a Suzuki 750

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

Cheers Saaz for not telling, but it's real unfair trying to lead the guys off the scent, :wink1 it's still in production and a 1200 version is on the market now. But not a lot of people know that..... :grin Low volume for sure.
OH and it's a V twin.

"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

Post by: Dab55 on October 03, 2012, 07:20:58 PM

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

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