    A blue one.
    That's what I'm saving my other Triumph (T120 - 650cc) motor for!

    Absolute heracy, Sir!
    The only modification to be made to an old British MC is to replace anything with the Prince of Darkness's name on it.

    Dream rides??

    I have one of them:

    My '93 400E
    275hp/295lb.ft. 4.2L 4 cam 32v V8
    Fast, quiet, smooth, and gets 22-24mpg as my daily driver.

    And the other I'll never own:

    1971 Lamborghini Miura SV
    385hp 3.9L v12
    My ultimate all-time favorite.

    There was a Lambo Muira in the original Italian Job. Beautiful footage of it driving through the Italian Alps. I believe the car was parted after (of during) filming. You might get it cheap .

    Hmmmm...I guess you won't want to see pics of my old 650 Bonneville choppers then. Would build another in a heartbeat if I had the chance.

    I might agree if I wasn't just starting with only the motor & nothing else.
    Besides I like shaking the purist up
