You have to just laugh (and cringe) at the lit cigar. I can’t imagine doing 100mph on those tires! Special thanks to Robie Pruden who posted this in the comments thread to that post.

Reader historical bike photo ID request.
I missed this in my spam filter back on Nov 26 (sorry about that David). I’m not a vintage expert by any means but I swear that tank is a Super X. See this pic HERE. Just a guess though. Anyone else?
This photo is of a family member of mine way back in the day in Sweden and I have not been able to identify the manufacturer even when using a magnifying glass. Can anyone identify this bike?

A fairly radical Yamaha based “XTX” cafe mystery bike…
UPDATE: LINK TO THE BUILD THREAD Thank you Eric from the comments!
Over the years I’ve started following different photo albums on the web and I get periodic e-mail updates on activity. I’ve lost track of who’s who but every once in a while I get a nice surprise. This bike has a more complete album over on Google Picasa HERE. I have no further information other than the pictures. Can anyone name that engine? BIG single cylinder liquid cooled Yamaha. I don’t think it’s a US sold model.
I’m crossing a line today. I don’t often ridicule ANYONES motorcycle…. but…
I’m a firm believer in different strokes etc.. there are genres that I don’t post often (choppers/streetfighters etc) but it does not mean I don’t have enormous respect them. There are true artists in every segment of motorcycledom. But hey… they’re just not my “thing” s I don’t often post on them.
Maybe I’m salty today because THIS!! This hideous THING!! Bllleachhughvomit!!! I can’t think of a single image that better encapsulates everything that was “wrong” (yes that is just MY opinion) with the OCC/Jesse James/”Biker build-off of the week” custom chopper craze of the last decade. I can’t believe it’s still going on in some circles. What an absolute stain on the face of the earth. And it’s probably never even run. Here’s the link to the actual auction while it lasts. $197,000 folks and it can be all yours. Enjoy!

Hi ya, just discovered your site and here’s a couple of mine for you.Cheers,Jeff
Thanks Jeff! I like your taste!
Now this is strange for me. A 2 stroke (albeit Honda) that I don’t recognize.
took this in the Daytona parking lot a few years back. what model is it exactly?
From the “greatest hits” posts. Norton
Laverda Endurance Racer Reproduction… I think.
Stumbled across this in an old album. Didn’t see it posted anywhere.
If you need more proof that helmets save lives…
I mean DAMM! HT to Jason the roving reporter on the video.
Some update pics to that Yamaha XT Motard build.
Good Gravy I do like this bike! Thanks for the pics Muz!
