Stunning looking wing, the only one id ride.
It has the same wow look at me as the Suzuki GT750 kettle from the same era.
Or the H2 and the Z1 and z13... As a kid i was smitten, i panic bought my Puch Maxi as soon as i could at 16

I quite like some of the 'Café Race' Wings that have been done over the years,

I would like one of these one day... if he ever makes more than 2!

How about one of Randy Grubb's Decopods, look like something @loopybike could build.

The original Wing was fast for it's time, comfy, stylish, all day reliable...I'd love one. I wouldnt want a dresser, a naked one would be just fine.

Is my memory correct in thinking that the fuel tank is behind the side panels, and the dummy tank housed some of the electrics?

Yep, tank was a dummy, real fuel tank under the seat, iirc.


Missed out on a GSX 600F today, problems with the van (broken window) so couldn't get there in time.

I wasn't suggesting you copy his work, maybe I should have posted "Could have built"

When I built the sidecar I was more than a little inspired by randy. He's a quality innovator. I'd love to go for a beer with him!

Your memory, Sir, is admirable. Years later Yamaha went much the same way with the Genesis concept, dropping the tank down low behind the engine, although the filler still extended up to the normal position.

Yamaha also did it with the V Max, BMW also did an under seat tank with their F800 range of bikes, the thinking was to keep the weight lower down in the frame, although strangely the F800ST felt very top heavy.

Well, the clear out is going well:

Couldn't say no to that. One owner from new, still tested but can't tax it until new V5 arrives. The kick start lever was slipping so spent 2
0 minutes in the cold this morning hack sawing it off. Going to order a new one this week.

That doesnt generate enough power to start my V-Max engine.

Apologies for going off on a tangent, but I stumbled across an amazing fact a couple of days ago.
The supercharger atop a nitro burning top fuel engine absorbs 600bhp at full chat.
That branch of motorsport is full of incredible numbers.

I just love Vespas, not all scooters, Vespas, l don't like anything about the associated scene, fashion, music, icons, l just like Vespas.

I would smash the screen & box into a 1000 pieces and it'd start to look good. OK it's red, but could be pink...
