Just found this in the latest Jack Lilley Newsletter. Looks pretty nice, I like the black and gold.

That looks mighty fine! It could be in my driveway!

Reminds me of a bike I had back about 1980, a 1972 Honda CB350. It started out a butt ugly Green and Black, I painted it Balck and Gold. I loved that bike until it tried to kill me. The oil pump quit and it seized right in the middle of a high speed curve. Did I mention it had a brown streak on the seat after that?

The more I look at this model the more I love it :y72:

It's basically a rebirth of the John Player Special color scheme used on Lotus and Nortons in the 70's.

PITTSBURGH colors!!!!

That must be why I like it

yeah, reminds me of Norton. Still looks good on Mrs. Bonnie though!

Actually, it looks more Velocette to me.
