I reckon that is a highly modified BSA twin.

If it was a BSA then yes, it would be a highly modified one.
But since it is neither highly modified nor a BSA, I'll have to count that as WRONG! LOL

Matchles had those huge fined heads
I'm afraid we're sniffing around the wrong country.
Ok I have it, it's the Mystery Mark4 
The only other one that now springs to mind is a Velocette but I cannot remember them having those huge fined heads at all

is it an early honda TT bike ?
Now we're on the wrong bleedin' continent!
Man that head is really getting to me, I am sure I know it. Ok give us a clue then
A rebus clue:
common name for a lady of the evening + a homonym for the process of destruction of a building = ?????

Its a Whore Implosion!

Its a Horex 500cc SOHC . This was a cool one Horex in Germany, designed a Horex 500cc SOHC vertical-twin that was thoroughly modern in concept and execution. The impecunious and enthusiastic engineer of Hosk in Japan made an Oriental version of the Horex 500 motorcycle. The Hosk was rather expensive - and fast. It was the only Japanese bike that could challenge the English singles and twins for performance. Eventually Hosk constant cash flow difficulties delivered them to the arms of Showa, which continued to produce an improved version of the Hosk. Showa sold to Yamaha in 1961 and the old Horex inspired 500 twin went with it.
My go lets get a bit modern
Good going, Dave!
That head had me going as I had seen it before some place
Just curious - did the clue help you?
Never even heard of that bike.
Well chosen, the Horex is just obscure enough for me to miss the answer and being thick the clue didn't help.
With hindsight, yeah I knew it all along.:y8:
Well it had me for a time but in the end it did help
Well Dave the latest photo looks like a bit of a brute.
