Classy looking rear suspension.
I'm with Chris- it looks kind of top heavy with the box up high like that.
Seems like a waste of a bike tyre on the front when it's never going to lean.  Maybe good for looks.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Toowoomba bike anyone know the owner?
I acknowledge hardworking Australians no matter who they are or where they come from. All those who have contributed to this wonderful country deserve an equal share of gratitude for their contributions. To single any group of individuals out for special homage only denigrates the rest of us.

No mate, we saw this bike at the Ulysses AGM, but we have not seen it since, and not met the owner.

This is obviously the option after Honda have sold all the final drive parts.
